CVE-2026-32141: flatted vulnerable to unbounded recursion DoS in parse() revive phase
flatted’s parse() function uses a recursive revive() phase to resolve circular references in deserialized JSON. When given a crafted payload with deeply nested or self-referential $ indices, the recursion depth is unbounded, causing a stack overflow that crashes the Node.js process.
