Machine-written summary
Summary written by Claude Haiku from the source advisory. Not reviewed by a person.
The npm package devalue, versions before 5.9.3, is affected: a custom ArrayBuffer reviver can bypass typed-array allocation validation, so the parse function can create very large ArrayBuffers from a very small input. The source says this requires a malformed ArrayBuffer custom reviver under very specific circumstances, and it does not describe what an attacker must control beyond that. Upgrade devalue to version 5.9.3 or later, which is the fixed version listed.
