CVE-2026-41673 Details
Description
xmldom is a pure JavaScript W3C standard-based (XML DOM Level 2 Core) `DOMParser` and `XMLSerializer` module. In @xmldom/xmldom prior to versions 0.9.10 and 0.8.13 and xmldom version 0.6.0 and prior, seven recursive traversals in lib/dom.js operate without a depth limit. A sufficiently deeply nested DOM tree causes a RangeError: Maximum call stack size exceeded, crashing the application. This issue has been patched in versions @xmldom/xmldom versions 0.9.10 and 0.8.13.
A denial-of-service vulnerability has been identified in the xmldom library, specifically in the DOMParser and XMLSerializer components. This issue affects versions of @xmldom/xmldom prior to 0.9.10 and 0.8.13, as well as xmldom version 0.6.0 and earlier. The vulnerability arises from seven recursive functions in lib/dom.js that traverse the DOM without a depth limit. When a DOM tree is nested too deeply, it leads to a RangeError: Maximum call stack size exceeded, causing the application to crash. This vulnerability can be exploited by creating a sufficiently deep DOM structure that exceeds the call stack limit.
Users can upgrade to xmldom version 0.9.10 or 0.8.13 to address this vulnerability.
