Details
When an application passed an attacker controlled float poing number into the
toFixed()function, it might lead to high CPU consumption and a potential Denial of Service.Small numbers go through this call stack:
NativeNumber.numTo > DToA.JS_dtostr > DToA.JS_dtoa > DToA.pow5multwhere
pow5multattempts to raise5to a ridiculous power.Example code:

Release Notes
mozilla/rhino (org.mozilla:rhino)
v1.8.1December 2, 2025
These releases fix a bug in the code that formats floating-point numbers into strings
that could result in very bad performance in some cases.
We recommend that all users of Rhino upgrade to release 1.8.1 if possible,
and upgrade to Java 17 or 21.
Users who need an older release, or who cannot yet leave Java 8, can also
use 1.7.15.1 or 1.7.14.1.
