Release notes
Package name: yaml
  • 2.9.0 - 2026-05-11

    The changes here are really only patches, but I'm releasing this as a minor version to note a small change to the documentation of parseDocument() and parseAllDocuments(): I've removed the claim that they'll "never throw".

    It remains the case that practically all non-malicious inputs will be handled without emitting an error, but there is a decent chance that code paths remain where e.g. a RangeError due to call stack exhaustion can be triggered by malicious inputs. Up to now, I've considered these as security vulnerabilities, and in fact it's the only category of error for which yaml CVEs have been issued so far.

    Starting from this release, I'll be considering such errors as bugs, but not vulnerabilities. I do welcome people and/or LLMs looking for them, but please report them as normal issues rather than suspected security vulnerabilities. This also applies to previously undiscovered bugs in earlier releases.

    • fix: Avoid calling Array.prototype.push.apply() with large source array
    • fix(lexer): Avoid recursive calls that may exhaust the call stack
  • 2.8.4 - 2026-05-02
    • Disable alias resolution with maxAliasCount:0 (#677)
    • Handle invalid unicode escapes (e1a1a77)
    • Apply minFractionDigits only to decimal strings (#676)
  • 2.8.3 - 2026-03-21
    • Add trailingComma ToString option for multiline flow formatting (#670)
    • Catch stack overflow during node composition (1e84ebb)
  • 2.8.2 - 2025-11-30
    • Serialize -0 as -0 (#638)
    • Do not double newlines for empty map values (#642)
  • 2.8.1 - 2025-08-05
    • Preserve empty block literals (#634)

Note

Low Risk
Lockfile-only dependency bump with no application code changes; lowers YAML parsing abuse risk wherever yaml is used on untrusted input.

Overview
Bumps the yaml runtime dependency from 2.8.1 to 2.9.0 in package.json and refreshes package-lock.json (resolved tarball, integrity hash, and package metadata such as funding).

This is a Snyk-driven security upgrade aimed at SNYK-JS-YAML-15765520 (uncontrolled recursion / call-stack exhaustion during parsing). 2.9.0 includes lexer and array-handling hardening around those paths; there are no other repo changes beyond the version pin.

Merge Risk: Low

This is a minor version upgrade that the author notes consists of only patch-level changes. The primary change is a documentation update to clarify that parsing functions may throw errors on malicious input, which was always a possibility. The release also includes fixes to prevent call stack exhaustion on very large or complex inputs.

No breaking API changes are documented.
