AI-suggested
Until a patch is available, consider limiting exposure to untrusted source maps or applying input validation controls externally if possible.
Description
source-map-js versions up to and including 1.2.1 improperly validate the per-section offset line value in indexed source maps. This allows attackers to specify extremely large numeric offset line values, which can cause synchronous event loop blocking and prevent the service from handling other requests.
