HIGH 7.5REMOTEUPGRADE

CVE-2026-59879 is a high-severity flaw (CVSS 7.5) affecting immutable. Below: why it ranks where it does, which versions are affected, what to do, and the exact commands.

Immutable.js provides many Persistent Immutable data structures. Prior to 4.3.9 and 5.1.8, List#set, List#setSize, List#setIn, List#updateIn, and the functional set, setIn, and updateIn mishandle an index or size in the range 2 ** 30 to 2 ** 31 in setListBounds in src/List.js, causing an empty List to enter an uncatchable infinite loop, a populated List to allocate without bound until process abort, or setSize to silently wrap large values.

immutable-js immutable UPGRADE

Affected: < 4.3.9 · >= 5.0.0 and < 5.1.8

Fixed in: 4.3.9, 5.1.8

Safe to downgrade to: a release before 5.0.0

1. Check installed version

npm ls immutable

2. UPGRADE to 4.3.9

npm install immutable@">=4.3.9"

3. If no update is available yet, DOWNGRADE to a release before 5.0.0

npm view immutable versions npm install immutable@"<5.0.0"

Downgrade risk

Downgrading can break dependent software and may reopen older bugs. Read the distro advisory first and test on a non-production host.

After downgrade

Restart the service, and keep the package held until a fixed release ships.
