CVE-2014-10064: Denial-of-Service Extended Event Loop Blocking in qs

October 9, 2018 (updated January 8, 2021)

The qs module before 1.0.0 does not have an option or default for specifying object depth and when parsing a string representing a deeply nested object will block the event loop for long periods of time. An attacker could leverage this to cause a temporary denial-of-service condition, for example, in a web application, other requests would not be processed while this blocking is occurring.
