An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2018-13863 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected packages and fixed versions:\n- bson (npm): affected from 0.5.0; fixed in 1.0.5\n- bson (npm): affected from 0.5.0; fixed in 1.0.5\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2018-13863/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2018-13863/index.md)","id":"CVE-2018-13863","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2018-13863/index.md","name":"CVE-2018-13863","record":{"aliases":["CLSA-2026-1774225202","DEBIAN-CVE-2018-13863","GHSA-8462-q7x7-g2x4"],"analysis":{"component_type":"library","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"MongoDB BSON library","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Attackers can cause denial of service in applications using the MongoDB BSON library by sending specially crafted strings to the Decimal128 parser.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"denial_of_service"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"js-bson","vendor":"mongodb"}],"cvss":{"score":7.5,"severity":"high","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H","version":"3.0"},"cwes":[],"description":"The MongoDB bson JavaScript module (also known as js-bson) versions 0.5.0 to 1.0.x before 1.0.5 is vulnerable to a Regular Expression Denial of Service (ReDoS) in lib/bson/decimal128.js.
