CVE-2024-23684: Denial of service in CBOR library

January 21, 2022 (updated January 22, 2026)

Due to this library’s use of an inefficient algorithm, it is vulnerable to a denial of service attack when a maliciously crafted input is passed to DecodeFromBytes or other CBOR decoding mechanisms in this library.

Affected versions include versions 4.0.0 through 4.5.0.

This vulnerability was privately reported to me.
