fast-xml-parser allows users to validate XML, parse XML to JS object, or build XML from JS object without C/C++ based libraries and no callback. Prior to version 5.3.8, the application crashes with stack overflow when user use XML builder with preserveOrder:true. Version 5.3.8 fixes the issue. As a workaround, use XML builder with preserveOrder:false or check the input data before passing to builder.
