Machine-written summary
Summary written by Claude Haiku from the source advisory. Not reviewed by a person.
Boa (crates.io package boa_engine) versions 0.16.0 up to but not including 0.19.0 are vulnerable. A remote attacker who can get the application to run crafted ECMAScript code, such as from an external user, can trigger an uncaught exception by changing the state of an AsyncGenerator from a getter on the promise's then property, which can cause a denial of service. Upgrade to boa_engine 0.19.0 or later. Users who cannot upgrade can wrap engine calls in std::panic::catch_unwind to keep the main application running.
