'Auto-Height a responsive menu

I'm trying to make a mobile menu with the structure of ul > li > ul which each sub ul having its height based of the number of li.

But when entering a sub-sub tiny ul of a big sub ul makes the sub-sub tiny ul overflow vertically which is showing the content of its parent :

sub-menu overflow

How can I prevent the sub-sub tiny ul to be overflow vertically ?

$(document).ready(function(){
  let menu = $('nav')
  
  // open submenu
  menu.find('a').on('click', function(){
    let parent = $(this).parent()
    parent.toggleClass('active')
  })
  
  // close submenu
  menu.find('.back').on('click', function(){
    let parent = $(this).parent().parent()
    parent.toggleClass('active')
  })
})
:root {
  font-size: 10px;
}

nav {
