Description
ExcelJS through 4.4.0 contains a memory exhaustion vulnerability that allows attackers to crash applications by supplying a workbook with an oversized defined-name range. DefinedNames.addEx expands ranges such as S!$A$1:$XFD$1048576 from xl/workbook.xml cell by cell, causing an uncatchable fatal heap out-of-memory error during xlsx.load().
