CVE-2025-9288: sha.js is missing type checks leading to hash rewind and passing on crafted data
(updated )
This is the same as GHSA-cpq7-6gpm-g9rc but just for sha.js, as it has its own implementation.
Missing input type checks can allow types other than a well-formed Buffer or string, resulting in invalid values, hanging and rewinding the hash state (including turning a tagged hash into an untagged hash), or other generally undefined behaviour.
