Machine-written summary

Summary written by Claude Haiku from the source advisory. Not reviewed by a person.

The npm package zod, versions before 4.6.6, is vulnerable to uncontrolled resource consumption. An attacker who can submit a large array to an application that validates it with an array schema lacking a length constraint can exhaust memory and crash the process, because validation records an issue for every failing element with no cap. Upgrade zod to version 4.6.6, which fixes the issue.
