Security Impact
CVSS: 7.5
The security impact metrics below are parsed directly from the CVSS v3.1 vector string (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N).
How to Fix CVE-2026-92708
To remediate this vulnerability, upgrade all affected devalue dependencies to a patched release. Both direct and transitive dependencies should be checked, as frameworks or security libraries may pull in vulnerable versions transitively.
npm install devalue@5.9.3
Run the following command in your project directory to verify that all resolved dependencies use the patched release:
npm ls devalue
How to Check if You Are Affected
To determine whether your Node.js application is affected by CVE-2026-92708, inspect your project dependencies using npm:
npm ls devalue
Analyze the terminal output to locate any version of devalue in your dependency tree. If any resolved version matches the vulnerable ranges listed in the table below (for example, versions earlier than 5.9.3), your application is affected.
Note: The npm ls devalue command inspects dependencies declared in your package.json and lockfile; it does not perform automated runtime dynamic scanning.
Technical Details
Vulnerability Mechanism & Technical Analysis
This vulnerability is classified under CWE-200: Exposure of Sensitive Information to an Unauthorized Actor, where the product exposes sensitive information to an actor that is not explicitly authorized to have access to that information. In devalue, software state validation or input boundaries are circumvented during processing. Review the official source advisory statement below for specific affected components, classes, and reproduction details.

"details" : "### Impact\n\n`stringify` and `uneval` serialize a typed array by emitting its backing `ArrayBuffer`, not just the view. In the case of a Node `Buffer` object, the backing buffer is a process-wide shared pool, meaning unrelated memory can be serialized into a response that is then sent to the client. For a Node `Buffer` the backing store is Node's **process-wide shared pool**, so serializing a small `Buffer` copies up to 64 KB of unrelated process memory — including bytes from other in-flight requests — into the output. In an SSR framework (SvelteKit, Nuxt) a public page whose `load()` returns a 2-byte `Buffer`, or a small file read with `readFileSync`, ships another user's request body / `Authorization` header in its HTML. Unauthenticated, silent, ~43,000× amplification.\n\nThis is serialization-side, so the `parse`/`unflatten` prototype-pollution and DoS guards do not apply — it fires on every SSR render, not only when parsing untrusted input.\n\n### Workarounds\n\nConvert Node `Buffer` objects to `Uint8Array`:\n\n```diff\npayload = {\n- buffer\n+ buffer: new Uint8Array(buffer)\n}\n```",
