Summary
Seroval, a JavaScript library that serializes values (including complex structures) into JavaScript output, is affected. If an application copies untrusted properties onto a typed array before serializing it, an attacker can inject malicious code that runs in the browser of whoever receives that output.

Read the original description
Seroval facilitates JavaScript value stringification, including complex structures beyond JSON.stringify capabilities. From 1.6.0 until 1.6.11, the JavaScript-output APIs derive a typed array's constructor name from a property on the value that can be replaced by an own constructor property. When application code copies untrusted properties onto a typed array and then passes it to serialize, serializeAsync, crossSerialize, crossSerializeAsync, crossSerializeStream, Serializer, or compileJSON, the attacker-controlled name is written as executable JavaScript and can run in the page receiving the output. This issue is fixed in version 1.6.11.
