CVE-2021-39131 Information

Description

ced detects character encoding using Google’s compact_enc_det library. In ced v0.1.0 passing data types other than Buffer causes the Node.js process to crash. The problem has been patched in ced v1.0.0. As a workaround before passing an argument to ced verify it’s a Buffer using Buffer.isBuffer(obj).
