Description

Svelte devalue is a JavaScript library that serializes values into strings when JSON.stringify isn't sufficient for the job. From version 5.6.3 to before version 5.8.1, devalue.parse could, due to quirks in some JavaScript engines, be convinced to allocate much more memory than was needed when deserializing sparse arrays, leading to excessive memory consumption. This issue has been patched in version 5.8.1.

Affected

Our own answer: ranges merged, affected separated from platform-only, with confidence and review flags.

5.6.3 ≤ v < 5.8.1
Affected range stops below 5.8.1, so it looks safe — our inference, not a vendor statement
v < 5.8.1
Affected range stops below 5.8.1, so it looks safe — our inference, not a vendor statement
