Summary
jq is a lightweight and flexible command-line JSON processor. jq is like sed for JSON data. You can use it to slice, filter, map, or transform structured data with the same ease that sed, awk, grep, or similar applications allow you to manipulate text.
Security Fix(es):
* jq: jq has signed integer overflow in jv.c:jvp_array_write (CVE-2024-23337)
* jq: AddressSanitizer: stack-buffer-overflow in jq_fuzz_execute (jv_string_vfmt) (CVE-2025-48060)

jq has signed integer overflow in jv.c:jvp_array_write
jq is a command-line JSON processor. In versions up to and including 1.7.1, an integer overflow arises when assigning value using an index of 2147483647, the signed integer limit. This causes a denial of service. Commit de21386681c0df0104a99d9d09db23a9b2a78b1…
