From 3.0.0 until 3.11.1, parsing/json/json_reader.go decodeValue, decodeObject, and decodeArray, and parsing/xml/reader.go parseElement, recurse once per input nesting level without a depth guard. Deeply nested attacker-controlled JSON or XML supplied through parsing.Format(...).NewReader(...).Read(data), the command-line interface, or the parse selector function can exhaust the Go goroutine stack and raise an unrecoverable fatal error that terminates the entire process. The XML input-size limit does not prevent depth exhaustion, and defer or recover cannot intercept the failure. This issue is fixed in version 3.11.1.","state":0,"publishedAt":"2026-09-21T16:55:07.859+00:00","modifiedAt":"2026-09-21T20:45:17.805+00:00","affected":[{"ecosystem":"Vendor product","name":"dasel","ranges":[],"versions":[],"rawVersionEvidence":"{\n                    \"vendor\": \"TomWright\",\n                    \"product\": \"dasel\",\n                    \"versions\": [\n                        {\n                            \"version\": \">= 3.0.0, < 3.11.1\",\n                            \"status\": \"affected\"\n                        }\n                    ]\n                }"}],"metrics":[{"system":"CVSS 3.1","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H","score":6.2,"severity":"MEDIUM"}],"references":["https://github.com/TomWright/dasel/security/advisories/GHSA-cqxr-jxr2-85pq","https://github.com/TomWright/dasel/commit/4c91d0d02dc59ce8404709b1bfed7a6fabe62f68","https://github.com/TomWright/dasel/releases/tag/v3.11.1"],"sourceUrl":"https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2026-59168","license":"CVE Program Terms of Use","key":"cve-program:CVE-2026-59168","identifiers":["CVE-2026-59168"]},"retained":false,"historicalAffected":[]}],"coverage":[]}
