Summary
The Qwik JavaScript framework is affected in @builder.io/qwik before 1.20.0 and @qwik.dev/core before 2.0.0-beta37. Default server-side qwik-json deserialization passes an attacker-controlled thenable to Promise.resolve without rejecting it first, which is an uncaught exception (CWE-248). An unauthenticated remote attacker can send one request that leads to an unhandled rejection and terminates a Node.js server under its default policy. Repeated requests can keep server replicas unavailable.

Description from the CNA
Qwik is a performance-focused JavaScript framework. Prior to @builder.io/qwik 1.20.0 and @qwik.dev/core 2.0.0-beta.37, default server-side qwik-json deserialization causes ResourceSerializer.$fill$ to pass resource._resolved to Promise.resolve without first rejecting attacker-controlled thenables. An unauthenticated request can provide a plain object whose then property is a QRL for an unregistered symbol, causing an orphaned asynchronous rejection that terminates Node.js under its default unhandled-rejection policy. A single request can crash a server, and repeated requests can keep replicas unavailable. This issue is fixed in @builder.io/qwik 1.20.0 and @qwik.dev/core 2.0.0-beta.37.
