ExcelJS through 4.4.0 contains a resource exhaustion vulnerability in data-validations-xform.js that allows attackers to exhaust CPU and memory by supplying unbounded sqref ranges. Attackers can provide a small crafted workbook with a sqref of A1:XFD1048576 to make xlsx.load() iterate billions of addresses, blocking the event loop and crashing the process with an uncatchable out-of-memory error.
