evtx is vulnerable to Denial of Service (DoS)
44
Medium Risk
This Affects:
evtxTL;DR
BinXML parsing previously allowed attacker-controlled crafted inputs to create extremely deep template/element nesting, potentially causing a stack-overflow crash (DoS). v0.12.2 adds hard recursion/depth caps (e.g., 64 nesting levels and 512 open elements) and threads a depth guard through the BinXML builder/validation so malicious inputs fail with parse errors instead of crashing.
Who does this affect?
You are affected if you are using a version that falls within the vulnerable range.
