Newtonsoft.Json vulnerability to DoS attacks in versions before 13.0.1 #1361

@SiwinskiK

Description

@SiwinskiK

Newtonsoft.Json prior to version 13.0.1 is vulnerable to Insecure Defaults due to improper handling of StackOverFlow exception (SOE) whenever nested expressions are being processed. Exploiting this vulnerability results in Denial Of Service (DoS), and it is exploitable when an attacker sends 5 requests that cause SOE in time frame of 5 minutes. This vulnerability affects Internet Information Services (IIS) Applications. The vulnerability is severe and renders coverlet unusable.
Coverlet in version 2.0.9 references an older version of aforementioned library. Upgrade to version Newtonsoft.Json - 13.0.1
