📋 Description
ExcelJS through 4.4.0 contains a memory exhaustion vulnerability that allows attackers to crash applications by supplying a workbook with an unbounded image anchor column in the drawing part. Attackers can set an anchor column such as 300000000 in xl/drawings/drawing1.xml so reading getImages() anchor positions makes Worksheet.getColumn allocate millions of Column objects and abort with a heap out-of-memory error.
