Hi,

The following vulnerability was published for rapidjson.

CVE-2024-39684[0]:
| Tencent RapidJSON is vulnerable to privilege escalation due to an
| integer overflow in the `GenericReader::ParseNumber()` function of
| `include/rapidjson/reader.h` when parsing JSON text from a stream.
| An attacker needs to send the victim a crafted file which needs to
| be opened; this triggers the integer overflow vulnerability (when
| the file is parsed), leading to elevation of privilege.
