maxdepth

The maxdepth tag on WindowsForum.com covers discussions about controlling the maximum nesting depth when parsing or serializing JSON, particularly in the context of the Newtonsoft.Json library. A key topic is CVE-2024-21907, a denial-of-service vulnerability in Newtonsoft.Json versions prior to 13.0.1, where deeply nested or crafted JSON can cause stack overflow or resource exhaustion. Posts under this tag focus on upgrading to version 13.0.1 to mitigate the DoS risk, and on best practices for setting maxdepth limits to prevent similar issues in .NET applications that handle untrusted JSON input.
