Hi @achibear, I read hjson/hjson-java#24 and agree with adding CWE-674 to the advisory. If you want to suggest adding CWE-674 to the CVE record, you will need to contact MITRE at https://cveform.mitre.org. |

Based on the public issue report and the published fix, the vulnerability appears more consistent with denial of service caused by unbounded recursive parsing of deeply nested input. As they point to stack exhaustion / uncontrolled recursive descent rather than a buffer write beyond bounds, CWE-674 is a better fit for this.
