SafeJSON.JSONParse mangles number inside of string literal

Closed this issue · 2 comments

We hit this bug while trying to use WalletConnect with Dodo.

Test case:

it("should handle number inside string literal", () => {
  const nested = '{"params":{"proposer":{"metadata":{"description":"Trade Any Token on DODOEX. Swap ETH to WETH at 0.99852536006139370845107244063040676283327993685155310925333096461126073315184832, 0xEeeeeEeeeEeEeeEeEeEeeEEEeeeeEeeeeeeeEEeE, 0x82aF49447D8a07e3bd95BD0d56f35241523fBab1"}}}}';
  const result = safeJsonParse(nested);
  chai.expect(result).to.deep.eq(JSON.parse(nested));
});

The problem is that safe-json uses a regex to parse big numbers, but this regex does not respect the structure of JSON objects.

It would also be good if the library didn't swallow the error as this causes problems higher-up which are difficult to diagnose.

More minimal test case:

it("should handle number inside string literal", () => {
  const nested = '{"x":"12345678901234567,"}';
  const result = safeJsonParse(nested);
  chai.expect(result).to.deep.eq(JSON.parse(nested));
});
