Improper Handling of Exceptional Conditions in Newtonsoft.Json.
Newtonsoft.Json prior to version 13.0.1 is vulnerable to Insecure Defaults due to improper handling of StackOverFlow exception (SOE) whenever nested expressions are being processed. Exploiting this vulnerability results in Denial Of Service (DoS), and it is exploitable when an attacker sends 5 requests that cause SOE in time frame of 5 minutes. This vulnerability affects Internet Information Services (IIS) Applications.
:heavy_check_mark: This issue was automatically closed by Mend because the vulnerable library in the specific branch(es) was either marked as ignored or it is no longer part of the Mend inventory.
