About this tag
The cJSON tag on WindowsForum.com covers security vulnerabilities and patches for the cJSON library, a compact C library for parsing and printing JSON. Discussions focus on CVEs such as CVE-2025-57052 (a memory-safety flaw in pointer index parsing), CVE-2024-31755 (a null-pointer dereference crash), and CVE-2023-26819 (a denial-of-service via crafted JSON). These threads provide technical details, impact analysis, and patch guidance for developers and system administrators using cJSON in embedded systems, IoT firmware, desktop utilities, or server-side components. The tag is relevant for those tracking supply-chain risks and applying security updates to cJSON dependencies.
