CVE-2026-54500: Oj: intern.c form_attr (uninitialized stack read)

June 19, 2026

Oj.load in :object mode reads uninitialized stack memory (and, for long keys, reads out of bounds) when parsing a JSON object whose key is 254 bytes or longer. The interned bytes can surface to the caller, disclosing process stack memory.
