Attackers are betting that the hype around generative AI (GenAI) is attracting less technical, less cautious developers who might be more inclined to download an open source Python code package for free access, without vetting it or thinking twice.

### Summary An attacker can send a maliciously crafted TOML to cause the parser to crash because of a stack overflow caused by a deeply nested inline structure. A similar problem occurs when attempting to stringify deeply nested objects. The library does not limit the maximum exploration depth while parsing or producing TOML documents, nor does it offer a way to do so. ### Proof of concept ```js require("smol-toml").parse("e=" + "{e=".repeat(9999) + "{}" + "}".repeat(9999)) ``` ### Impact Applications which parse arbitrary TOML documents may suffer availability issues if they receive malicious input. If uncaught, the crash may cause the application itself to crash. The impact is deemed minor, as the function is already likely to throw errors on invalid input and therefore to properly handle errors. Due to the design of most JavaScript runtimes, the uncontrolled recursion does not lead to excessive memory usage and the execution is quickly aborted. As a reminder, it is **strongly**...
