Application crash via unchecked native buffer conversion
Published Apr 4, 2025 · Updated Jul 18, 2026
Buffer overflow in bigint-buffer 1.1.5 and earlier allows remote attackers to crash applications via invalid toBigIntLE input. The Node.js wrapper sends the supplied value to the native toBigInt converter, which asserts that napi_get_buffer_info succeeds instead of rejecting a non-Buffer value. Unauthenticated reachability depends on a consuming application passing attacker-controlled values to this library function; the demonstrated result is process termination.

Exploitability
Present is not the same as exploitable
Compare your product and version with the public record. A matching version still requires validation against your environment.
