GHSA-v3r3-4qgc-vw66
Uncontrolled memory allocation via crafted SVG dimensions in @dicebear/converter
Quick fix
GHSA-v3r3-4qgc-vw66 — @dicebear/converter: upgrade to the fixed version with the command below.
npm install @dicebear/converter@9.4.0Details
### Impact
The `ensureSize()` function in `@dicebear/converter` (versions < 9.4.0) read the `width` and `height` attributes from the input SVG to determine the output canvas size for rasterization (PNG, JPEG, WebP, AVIF). An attacker who can supply a crafted SVG with extremely large dimensions (e.g. `width="999999999"`) could force the server to allocate excessive memory, leading to denial of service.
This primarily affects server-side applications that pass **untrusted or user-supplied SVGs** to the converter's `toPng()`, `toJpeg()`, `toWebp()`, or `toAvif()` functions. Applications that only convert self-generated DiceBear avatars are not practically exploitable, but are still recommended to upgrade.
### Patches
Fixed in version **9.4.0**. The `ensureSize()` function no longer reads SVG attributes to determine output size. Instead, a new `size` option (default: 512, max: 2048) controls the output dimensions. Invalid values (NaN, negative, zero, Infinity) fall back to the default.
### Workarounds
If upgrading is not immediately possible, validate and sanitize the `width` and `height` attributes of any untrusted SVG input before passing it to the converter.
