Summary

geojson-vt is a JavaScript library for slicing GeoJSON data into vector tiles on the fly, primarily designed to enable rendering and interacting with large geospatial datasets on the browser side (without a server). Prior to version 6.1.1, @maplibre/geojson-vt contains an uncontrolled recursion vulnerability in its GeoJSON conversion logic. When a GeoJSONVT instance is constructed with a deeply nested GeometryCollection object, the mutually recursive functions featureToInternal and convertGeometryCollection in src/convert.ts exhaust the Node.js call stack, causing an unhandled RangeError: Maximum call stack size exceeded that terminates the process. Because the library is widely used in server-side tile services that accept GeoJSON over the network, a remote unauthenticated attacker can trigger a denial-of-service by sending a single crafted payload. No authentication is required, and no non-default library options are needed. This issue has been patched in version 6.1.1.

Fencer Intel keeps one entry per vulnerability: the CVE id wins, then GHSA, and records that alias each other are merged, except that two CVEs always keep separate entries. The same data is available as JSON.

The maintainers of maplibre/geojson-vt published their own advisory on GitHub. Reviewed sources take precedence over it.
