  • Medium 6.8

    jq: stack overflow in deep structural equality

    jq is a command-line JSON processor. Prior to 1.8.2, comparing two sufficiently deeply nested arrays with the == operator exhausts the C stack on jq's ordinary command-line surface, resulting in denial of service via stack exhaustion (uncontrolled recursion).…

    jq --rawfile invalid-state reuse after String too long causes heap-buffer-overflow

    jq is a command-line JSON processor. Prior to 1.8.2,` jq --rawfile` can turn a handled oversized-string error into invalid-state reuse and a real heap out-of-bounds write in assertion-disabled builds. When jv_load_file(raw=1) reads an attacker-controlled file…

  • Medium 6.9

    jq: potential integer overflow in jvp_string_append

    jq is a command-line JSON processor. Prior to 1.8.2, on 32bit system, jvp_string_append has a chance of integer/multiple overflowing and then causing a massive buffer overrun. This vulnerability is fixed in 1.8.2.

  • Medium 6.2

    jq: Stack Overflow in Recursive Object Merge

    jq is a command-line JSON processor. In 1.8.1 and earlier, unbounded recursion in jv_object_merge_recursive() allows a crafted jq program to crash the process with a segfault. The function is reachable through the * operator when both operands are objects.

  • Medium 4.4

    jq: Embedded NUL in jq import paths causes local redaction-policy bypass and preserves sensitive fields in published artifacts

    jq is a command-line JSON processor. In 1.8.1 and earlier, jq accepts embedded NUL bytes in import paths at the jq-language level, but later resolves those paths through C string operations during module and data-file lookup. This creates a mismatch between t…

  • Medium 5.4

    jq: stack overflow in module loading on mutual `include`

    jq is a command-line JSON processor. In 1.8.2rc1 and earlier, the ordinary module loader recurses without cycle detection when two otherwise valid modules include each other.

  • Medium 6.2

    jq: Wild stack write via signed-integer overflow in decNumber D2U() macro

    jq is a command-line JSON processor. In 1.8.1 and earlier, when decNumberFromString is given a number literal of INT_MAX-1 (2147483646) digits, the D2U() macro overflows during signed-int arithmetic. The wrapped negative value bypasses the heap-allocation siz…

  • Medium 5.5

    jq: Embedded NUL truncates top-level jq programs loaded with -f

    jq is a command-line JSON processor. In 1.8.1 and earlier, Top-level jq programs loaded from a file with -f are truncated at the first embedded NUL byte on current upstream HEAD. A crafted filter file such as . followed by \x00 and arbitrary suffix compiles a…

  • Medium 5.4

    jq: Stack overflow via unbounded recursion in jv_contains

    jq is a command-line JSON processor. In 1.8.1 and earlier, jv_contains recurses into nested arrays/objects with no depth limit. With a sufficiently nested input structure (built programmatically with reduce, since the JSON parser caps at depth 10000), the C s…

  • Medium 6.4

    jq: Signed-int overflow in `stack_reallocate` (jq VM stack)

    jq is a command-line JSON processor. In 1.8.1 and earlier, the jq bytecode VM's data stack tracks its allocation size in a signed int. When the stack grows beyond ≈1 GiB (via deeply nested generator forks), the doubling arithmetic overflows. The wrapped value…

    jq: Embedded-NUL Truncation in CLI JSON Input Path Causes Prefix-Only Validation of Malformed Input

    jq is a command-line JSON processor. Commits before 6374ae0bcdfe33a18eb0ae6db28493b1f34a0a5b contain a vulnerability where CLI input parsing allows validation bypass via embedded NUL bytes. When reading JSON from files or stdin, jq uses strlen() to determine …

    jq: Algorithmic complexity DoS via hardcoded MurmurHash3 seed

    jq is a command-line JSON processor. Before commit 0c7d133c3c7e37c00b6d46b658a02244fdd3c784, jq used MurmurHash3 with a hardcoded, publicly visible seed (0x432A9843) for all JSON object hash table operations, which allowed an attacker to precompute key collis…

  • Medium 6.9

    jq: Out-of-Bounds Read in jv_parse_sized() Error Formatting for Non-NUL-Terminated Counted Buffers

    jq is a command-line JSON processor. In commits before 2f09060afab23fe9390cce7cb860b10416e1bf5f, the jv_parse_sized() API in libjq accepts a counted buffer with an explicit length parameter, but its error-handling path formats the input buffer using %s in jv_…

    jq: Missing runtime type checks for _strindices lead to crash and limited memory disclosure

    jq is a command-line JSON processor. Prior to version 1.8.2, the _strindices builtin in jq's src/builtin.c passes its arguments directly to jv_string_indexes() without verifying they are strings, and jv_string_indexes() in src/jv.c relies solely on assert() c…

    jq: Unbounded Recursion in jv_setpath(), jv_getpath() and delpaths_sorted()

    jq is a command-line JSON processor. In versions 1.8.1 and below, functions jv_setpath(), jv_getpath(), and delpaths_sorted() in jq's src/jv_aux.c use unbounded recursion whose depth is controlled by the length of a caller-supplied path array, with no depth l…

    jq: Integer overflow in jvp_string_append() allows Heap-based Buffer Overflow

    jq is a command-line JSON processor. An integer overflow vulnerability exists through version 1.8.1 within the jvp_string_append() and jvp_string_copy_replace_bad functions, where concatenating strings with a combined length exceeding 2^31 bytes causes a 32-b…

    jqlang jq JSON jq_test.c run_jq_tests assertion

    A vulnerability was determined in jqlang jq up to 1.6. Impacted is the function run_jq_tests of the file jq_test.c of the component JSON Parser. Executing manipulation can lead to reachable assertion. The attack requires local access. The exploit has been pub…

    jq heap use after free vulnerability in f_strflocaltime

    jq is a command-line JSON processor. In version 1.8.0 a heap use after free vulnerability exists within the function f_strflocaltime of /src/builtin.c. This issue has been patched in commit 499c91b, no known fix version exists at time of publication.

    CVE-2025-48060 Public exploit

    AddressSanitizer: stack-buffer-overflow in jq_fuzz_execute (jv_string_vfmt)

    jq is a command-line JSON processor. In versions up to and including 1.7.1, a heap-buffer-overflow is present in function `jv_string_vfmt` in the jq_fuzz_execute harness from oss-fuzz. This crash happens on file jv.c, line 1456 `void* p = malloc(sz);`. As of …

    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…

    jq has stack-based buffer overflow in decNaNs

    jq is a command-line JSON processor. Version 1.7 is vulnerable to stack-based buffer overflow in builds using decNumber. Version 1.7.1 contains a patch for this issue.

    jq has heap-buffer-overflow vulnerability in the function decToString in decNumber.c

    jq is a command-line JSON processor. Version 1.7 is vulnerable to heap-based buffer overflow. Version 1.7.1 contains a patch for this issue.
