CVE-2026-71429— stream-json: pick/ignore/filter/replace filters are O(depth²) on nested input — small crafted JSON blocks the event loop for seconds→minutes (DoS)

Quick assessment

Affected
uhop stream-json
Exploitation
No confirmed in-the-wild exploitation; assess based on exposure
Recommended action
Check the vendor advisory and references for a fixed version. If immediate upgrade is impossible, restrict exposure and increase monitoring.

uhop stream-json是uhop个人开发者的一个处理JSON数据流的组件。 uhop stream-json 3.5.0之前版本存在资源管理错误漏洞，该漏洞源于src/core/filters/filter-base.js中的路径过滤器pick、ignore、filter和replace在处理每个可检查令牌时重新计算完整路径字符串，导致深度嵌套JSON文档处理复杂度由O(D)变为O(D²)，可能阻塞Node.js事件循环，造成拒绝服务。

Vulnerability Title
stream-json: pick/ignore/filter/replace filters are O(depth²) on nested input — small crafted JSON blocks the event loop for seconds→minutes (DoS)
Source: CVE Program / CVE List V5
Vulnerability Description
stream-json is a micro-library of stream components for processing JSON and JSONC with a minimal memory footprint. Prior to 3.5.0, the path filters pick, ignore, filter, and replace in src/core/filters/filter-base.js recompute the full path string from the nesting stack for every checkable token. Because the stack length equals the current nesting depth and a checkable token is emitted at every level, a depth D document costs O(D²) rather than O(D) to process. The issue is triggered by nesting depth rather than byte volume, including the documented pick({filter: 'data'}) traversal-until-match path, so an application that sends untrusted JSON through a string or RegExp filter can block the Node.js event loop and cause denial of service with a small deeply nested document. The streamArray, streamObject, and streamValues streamers are not affected because they use the constant-time asm.depth getter. This issue is fixed in version 3.5.0.
