A critical buffer overflow vulnerability was discovered and patched in the popular OJ Ruby JSON library's fast.c parser, where an unbounded strcpy call allowed attacker-controlled JSON input to overwrite adjacent memory. Left unpatched, this classic CWE-120 flaw could enable arbitrary code execution in any application parsing untrusted JSON with the affected library. The fix eliminates the unsafe copy operation, closing a potential remote code execution vector that affected countless Ruby applic
A critical Remote Code Execution vulnerability (CVE-2026-33937) was discovered in Handlebars.js that allows attackers to execute arbitrary code by crafting malicious Abstract Syntax Tree objects passed to the `compile()` function. This post breaks down how the vulnerability works, why it's dangerous, and how upgrading to Handlebars 4.7.9 closes the attack vector.
