MessagePack is vulnerable to Denial of Service (DoS)
63
Medium Risk
This Affects:
MessagePackTL;DR
InterfaceLookupFormatter builds its internal dictionary with the default equality comparer instead of the security-aware comparer from MessagePackSecurity.UntrustedData. Untrusted payloads deserialized into ILookup can therefore trigger hash-collision CPU exhaustion even when the application opted into the untrusted-data posture. The fix creates the internal dictionary with the configured security comparer like sibling collection formatters.
Who does this affect?
You are affected if you are using a version that falls within the vulnerable range and deserialize untrusted payloads into schemas containing ILookup with hash-collision-prone key types.
