1) Dependency on vulnerable third-party component (CVE-ID: N/A)

CWE-ID: CWE-1395 - Dependency on Vulnerable Third-Party Component

CVSSv4: 1.8 [CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:P/PR:H/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:L/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N]

The vulnerability allows a local privileged user to cause a denial of service through CPU exhaustion.

The vulnerability exists due to dependency on a vulnerable third-party component in the bundled js-yaml parser when parsing YAML translation files at the configured loadPath. A local privileged user can control a loaded YAML file containing repeated aliases in merge keys, merge-key chains, crafted !!omap structures, or empty merge sources to trigger excessive CPU consumption.

Remediation
