[ruby-core:78194] [Ruby trunk Bug#12951][Third Party's Issue] JSON.parse allows invalid string escapes

From: shyouhei@...
Date: 2016-11-18 07:20:50 UTC
List: ruby-core #78194
Issue #12951 has been updated by Shyouhei Urabe.

Status changed from Open to Third Party's Issue

It is a very delicate question if this is a bug.  According to RFC7159 section 9 https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7159#section-9, a JSON parser is explicitly allowed to extend JSON.  So this could perhaps be an extension made by the JSON parser.

Besides that JSON is maintained in a separate repo so please report there https://github.com/flori/json

* Author: Matthew Boedicker
* Status: Third Party's Issue
* Priority: Normal
* Assignee: 
* ruby -v: ruby 2.3.1p112 (2016-04-26 revision 54768) [x86_64-darwin15]
* Backport: 2.1: UNKNOWN, 2.2: UNKNOWN, 2.3: UNKNOWN
----------------------------------------
According to jq and jsonlint, the following JSON is invalid:

~~~
{"x":"\$"}
~~~

but JSON.parse will parse it without complaint:

~~~
irb(main):002:0> JSON.parse('{"x":"\$"}')
=> {"x"=>"$"}
~~~
