exceljs through 4.4.0 contains a memory exhaustion vulnerability that allows attackers to crash applications by supplying a worksheet col element with an unbounded max attribute. Attackers can craft a small workbook with a huge max value, causing xlsx.load() to allocate hundreds of millions of Column objects and abort the process with an uncatchable heap out-of-memory error.
