NVD description

toml-node is a TOML parser for Node.js and the browser. Prior to 4.2.0, toml.parse() uses a Peggy 5.1.0 generated recursive-descent parser in lib/parser.js whose peg$parsevalue, peg$parsearray, and peg$parseinline_table_entry functions recurse through nested arrays and inline tables without a depth limit. A remote unauthenticated application parsing an attacker-controlled TOML document containing a few thousand nested arrays or inline tables can exhaust the Node.js call stack, raise an unexpected RangeError rather than the parser's SyntaxError, and terminate an unprotected request worker or process. The corresponding grammar source is src/toml.pegjs, where the generated parser must be bounded. This issue is fixed in version 4.2.0.

    🚨HIGH - toml-node Parser Uncontrolled Recursion DoS (CVE-2026-77465) npm "toml" (toml-node) Peggy-generated recursive-descent parser has uncontrolled recursion when parsing deeply nested arrays/inline tables, exhausting the Node.js call stack. Attacker-supplied TOML can trigger RangeError and crash the worker/process, causing unauthenticated remote DoS when parsing untrusted input. 👉Affected: toml < 4.2.0 | Upgrade to 4.2.0

    Post summary

    A high‑severity CVE (2026-77465) exposes toml-node to unlimited recursion, causing DPOS via attacker‑supplied TOML. Users should upgrade to toml 4.2.0 or newer to remediate the issue.
