From 3.0.0 until 3.11.1, parsing/json/json_reader.go decodeValue, decodeObject, and decodeArray, and parsing/xml/reader.go parseElement, recurse once per input nesting level without a depth guard. Deeply nested attacker-controlled JSON or XML supplied through parsing.Format(...).NewReader(...).Read(data), the command-line interface, or the parse selector function can exhaust the Go goroutine stack and raise an unrecoverable fatal error that terminates the entire process. The XML input-size limit does not prevent depth exhaustion, and defer or recover cannot intercept the failure. This issue is fixed in version 3.11.1.","cvss_v4":null,"cvss_v3":{"version":"3.1","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H","score":6.2},"cwes":["CWE-674"],"references":["https://github.com/TomWright/dasel/commit/4c91d0d02dc59ce8404709b1bfed7a6fabe62f68","https://github.com/TomWright/dasel/releases/tag/v3.11.1","https://github.com/TomWright/dasel/security/advisories/GHSA-cqxr-jxr2-85pq"],"products":[],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-19T22:55:23.253742848+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2026-59168","score":0.0013,"percentile":0.02648,"date":"2026-11-01"},"kev":null,"osv":[{"id":"GHSA-cqxr-jxr2-85pq","url":"https://osv.dev/vulnerability/GHSA-cqxr-jxr2-85pq","summary":"Dasel: Unbounded recursion in JSON and XML readers causes unrecoverable stack-overflow DoS","modified":"2026-10-01T20:55:54.790807985Z","packages":[{"ecosystem":"Go","name":"github.com/tomwright/dasel/v3","purl":"pkg:golang/github.com/tomwright/dasel/v3","ranges":[">=3.0.0 <3.11.1"],"fixed":["3.11.1"]}]},{"id":"GO-2026-6549","url":"https://osv.dev/vulnerability/GO-2026-6549","summary":"Dasel: Unbounded recursion in JSON and XML readers causes unrecoverable stack-overflow DoS in github.com/tomwright/dasel","modified":"2026-10-01T20:45:12.223004666Z","packages":[{"ecosystem":"Go","name":"github.com/tomwright/dasel","purl":"pkg:golang/github.com/tomwright/dasel","ranges":["all versions"],"fixed":[]},{"ecosystem":"Go","name":"github.com/tomwright/dasel/v2","purl":"pkg:golang/github.com/tomwright/dasel/v2","ranges":["all versions"],"fixed":[]},{"ecosystem":"Go","name":"github.com/tomwright/dasel/v3","purl":"pkg:golang/github.com/tomwright/dasel/v3","ranges":[">=3.0.0 <3.11.1"],"fixed":["3.11.1"]}]}],"attribution":["This product uses the NVD API but is not endorsed or certified by the NVD.","EPSS scores: FIRST Exploit Prediction Scoring System, https://www.first.org/epss","Known exploited vulnerabilities: CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities Catalog, https://www.cisa.gov/known-exploited-vulnerabilities-catalog","Package advisories: OSV (https://osv.dev), from the GitHub Advisory Database, PyPA, Go, RustSec and other ecosystem databases, under CC-BY 4.0 or CC0","CVE records: the CVE Program's CVE List (https://www.cve.org), under its terms of use (https://www.cve.org/Legal/TermsOfUse).
