CVE-2026-107300 Details
Description
msgpack5 is a msgpack v5 implementation for node.js and the browser. Prior to 6.1.0, the streaming decoder recursively invokes itself for each complete MessagePack value remaining in a chunk. A remote peer can send one chunk containing many small valid values, causing recursion proportional to the value count, exhausting the JavaScript call stack, and interrupting the process or stream. This issue is fixed in version 6.1.0.
A denial-of-service vulnerability has been identified in msgpack5, a MessagePack v5 implementation for Node.js and the browser, affecting versions prior to 6.1.0. The issue arises in the streaming decoder, which recursively processes each complete MessagePack value in a chunk. This recursion can lead to stack exhaustion when a remote peer sends a chunk with many small valid values, causing the process or stream to be interrupted.
Users can upgrade to msgpack5 version 6.1.0 or later, where this vulnerability has been fixed. Alternatively, limit the number of MessagePack values processed in a single chunk or split larger batches before decoding.
