AI-suggested

Upgrade to uuidjs version 14.0.0 or later, where this vulnerability is fixed. Since the vendor advisory indicates the issue is resolved in 14.0.0, applying this official fix is the recommended remediation. Patch status is confirmed by the vendor advisory stating the fix is included in version 14.0.0.

Description

uuid is for the creation of RFC9562 (formerly RFC4122) UUIDs. Prior to 14.0.0, v3, v5, and v6 accept external output buffers but do not reject out-of-range writes (small buf or large offset). This allows silent partial writes into caller-provided buffers. This vulnerability is fixed in 14.0.0.
