This removed the escaping for every `\u003c` in a source.\n\nThese functions are affected:\n\n- `serialize`, `serializeAsync`\n- `crossSerialize`, `crossSerializeAsync`, `crossSerializeStream`\n- the `Serializer` class\n- `compileJSON`\n\n`toJSON`, `fromJSON`, `toCrossJSON` and `fromCrossJSON` are not affected, because they never produce JavaScript.\n\n### Impact\n\nAn application is affected when all of these are true:\n\n1. It builds a `RegExp` from untrusted input that is used as regular expression syntax. Input passed through an escaping helper (such as an `escapeRegExp` function) is not enough to exploit this.\n2.

It places the output inside an HTML `\u003cscript\u003e` element, as server rendering usually does.\n\nIn that case an attacker can run script in the page of any user who receives that output.\n\n### Patches\n\nFixed in 1.6.10. A `RegExp` whose source contains `\u003c` is now written with the `RegExp` constructor and an escaped string source. Named groups and lookbehinds keep working.\n\n### Workarounds\n\nIf you cannot upgrade:\n\n- Do not serialize a `RegExp` built from untrusted pattern syntax. Send its source and flags as strings, and build the `RegExp` on the client.\n- Or reject patterns that contain `\u003c` before they reach the serializer.","status":"published","published":"2026-10-28T21:17:31Z","modified":"2026-10-28T21:17:32Z","cvss":[{"version":"3.1","score":4.7,"vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N","level":"medium"}],"cwes":["CWE-79","CWE-116"],"updated_at":"2026-11-02T14:41:39.926569Z"}],"nvd":[{"id":"CVE-2026-116582","description":"Seroval facilitates JavaScript value stringification, including complex structures beyond JSON.stringify capabilities.
