It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: It is not confirmed as exploited in the wild, but public exploit code for CVE-2025-62496 exists.\n\nAffected product: QuickJS. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\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-2025-62496/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-62496/index.md)","id":"CVE-2025-62496","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-62496/index.md","name":"CVE-2025-62496","record":{"aliases":["DEBIAN-CVE-2025-62496","GHSA-p8pr-fr36-rgmq","UBUNTU-CVE-2025-62496"],"analysis":{"component_type":"library","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["code_execution","denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"JavaScript engine library","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"An integer overflow in QuickJS BigInt parsing leads to heap out-of-bounds writes, potentially allowing code execution or crashes.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"integer_overflow"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"Google","cpe":[{"product":"quickjs","vendor":"quickjs_project"}],"cvss":{"score":7.1,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:4.0/AV:A/AC:H/AT:P/PR:L/UI:P/VC:H/VI:H/VA:L/SC:H/SI:H/SA:L","version":"4.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-190","name":"Integer Overflow or Wraparound"}],"description":"A vulnerability exists in the QuickJS engine's BigInt string parsing logic (js_bigint_from_string) when attempting to create a BigInt from a string with an excessively large number of digits.\n\nThe function calculates the necessary number of bits (n_bits) required to store the BigInt using the formula:\n\n$$\\text{n\\_bits} = (\\text{n\\_digits} \\times 27 + 7) / 8 \\quad (\\text{for radix 10})$$\n\n  *  For large input strings (e.g., $79,536,432$ digits or more for base 10), the intermediate calculation $(\\text{n\\_digits} \\times 27 + 7)$ exceeds the maximum value of a standard signed 32-bit integer, resulting in an Integer Overflow.\n\n  *  The resulting n_bits value becomes unexpectedly small or even negative due to this wrap-around.\n\n  *  This flawed n_bits is then used to compute n_limbs, the number of memory \"limbs\" needed for the BigInt object.
