CVE-2026-33532

23
FAUCET Score

CVE-2026-33532 is a stack overflow vulnerability in the `yaml` JavaScript library (versions 1.x prior to 1.10.3 and 2.x prior to 2.8.3) that occurs during YAML document parsing due to unbounded recursion. An attacker can trigger a `RangeError: Maximum call stack size exceeded` by supplying a specially crafted, deeply nested YAML input, causing a denial of service by crashing the Node.js process or failing requests. This vulnerability has a CVSS score of 4.3 (Medium) and is easily exploitable with a small payload, potentially bypassing typical YAML-specific error handling. Currently, there is no evidence of active exploitation, public exploit code (Metasploit, Nuclei, ExploitDB), or significant community discussion or media coverage.
