Denial of Service in @hapi/subtext

High severity GitHub Reviewed Published Sep 3, 2020 to the GitHub Advisory Database • Updated Apr 11, 2023

Package

npm @hapi/subtext (npm)

Affected versions

< 6.1.2

Patched versions

6.1.2

Description

Versions of @hapi/subtext prior to 6.1.2 are vulnerable to Denial of Service (DoS). The package fails to enforce the maxBytes configuration for payloads with chunked encoding that are written to the file system. This allows attackers to send requests with arbitrary payload sizes, which may exhaust system resources leading to Denial of Service.

Recommendation

Upgrade to version 6.1.2 or later.
