json-smart through 2.6.0 contains an input validation bypass vulnerability that allows attackers to evade strict-mode trailing-data checks by inserting a literal 0x1A character. Attackers can append 0x1A and malformed content to pass JSONValue.parseStrict or isValidJsonStrict validation, creating parser differentials with downstream parsers like Jackson or Gson.

No affected version ranges are stored yet. Use the vendor advisory before you decide this record does not apply.
