Summary
Buffer Overflow in node-weakauras-parser
Affected versions of node-weakauras-parser are vulnerable to a Buffer Overflow. The encode_weakaura function fails to properly validate the input size. A buffer of 13835058055282163711 bytes causes an overflow on 64-bit systems.

Kodem intelligence
Severity tells you how bad this could be in the worst case. It does not tell you whether you are exposed. Exploitability and impact are functions of runtime truth: whether the vulnerable code is present, reachable, and actually executes in your application. A vulnerable package can sit in your dependency tree and never run.
Kodem, an Intelligent Application Security platform, uses runtime intelligence to reveal which vulnerabilities actually execute in production, so teams prioritize the ones that genuinely matter. Kodem's runtime-powered SCA identifies whether this CVE is reachable in your applications.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What is GHSA-86MR-6M89-VGJ3? GHSA-86MR-6M89-VGJ3 is a medium-severity security vulnerability in node-weakauras-parser (npm), affecting versions >= 1.0.4, < 1.0.5. It is fixed in 1.0.5, 2.0.2, 3.0.1.
- Which versions of node-weakauras-parser are affected by GHSA-86MR-6M89-VGJ3? node-weakauras-parser (npm) versions >= 1.0.4, < 1.0.5 is affected.
- Is there a fix for GHSA-86MR-6M89-VGJ3? Yes. GHSA-86MR-6M89-VGJ3 is fixed in 1.0.5, 2.0.2, 3.0.1. Upgrade to this version or later.
- Is GHSA-86MR-6M89-VGJ3 exploitable, and should I be worried? Whether GHSA-86MR-6M89-VGJ3 is exploitable in your environment depends on whether the vulnerable code is present and reachable. A CVSS score is a worst-case rating; it does not account for your specific deployment, configuration, or usage patterns. Kodem, an Intelligent Application Security platform, uses runtime intelligence to show which vulnerabilities actually execute in production, so you can focus on the ones that represent real risk.

- What actually determines whether GHSA-86MR-6M89-VGJ3 is exploitable, and how bad it is? Exploitability and impact are not fixed properties of a CVE. They depend on runtime truth: whether the vulnerable code is present, reachable, and actually executes in your application. A high CVSS score on a dependency that never runs is not the same as real risk. Kodem, an Intelligent Application Security platform, uses runtime intelligence to reveal which vulnerabilities actually execute in production, so teams prioritize the ones that genuinely matter.
