GHSA-C2GF-V879-257J
Vulnerability from github – Published: 2026-06-11 13:28 – Updated: 2026-09-18 15:31Impact
The DelegatingDecompressorFrameListener class orchestrates HTTP/2 decompression by embedding a per-stream EmbeddedChannel that runs the appropriate decompression codec (gzip, deflate, zstd) and forwards decompressed chunks to a wrapped listener. Each decompressed chunk is a pooled ByteBuf handed to an anonymous ChannelInboundHandlerAdapter tail handler, which becomes the sole owner responsible for releasing it.
A remote peer could send frames that would result in the flow-controller throwing and so trigger a resource leak which at the end might take down the whole JVM due OOME.

GHSA-C2PJ-V37R-2P6H
Vulnerability from github – Published: 2023-06-26 15:48 – Updated: 2023-08-25 21:35Summary
Due to the misuse of log.Fatalf, the application using coraza crashed after receiving crafted requests from attackers.
Details
https://github.com/corazawaf/coraza/blob/82157f85f24c6107667bf0f686b71a72aafdf8a5/internal/bodyprocessors/multipart.go#L26-L29
The bodyprocessors of multipart uses log.Fatalf to handle errors from the mime.ParseMediaType, but log.Fatalf calls os.Exit directly after logging the error.
https://github.com/golang/go/blob/a031f4ef83edc132d5f49382bfef491161de2476/src/log/log.go#L288-L291
This means that the application will immediately crash after receiving a malicious request that triggers an error in mime.ParseMediaType.
PoC
The server can be demonstrated by https://github.com/corazawaf/coraza/tree/main/examples/http-server
After sending this request
POST / HTTP/1.1
Host: 127.0.0.1:8090
User-Agent: curl/8.1.2
Accept: */*
Content-Length: 199
Content-Type: multipart/form-data; boundary=------------------------5fa6351b877326a1; a=1; a=2
Connection: close
--------------------------5fa6351b877326a1
Content-Disposition: form-data; name="file"; filename="123"
Content-Type: application/octet-stream
123
--------------------------5fa6351b877326a1--
The server will crash immediately. The a=1; a=2 in Content-Type makes mime: duplicate parameter name error.
Impact
I believe the vulnerability was introduced by the following commit: https://github.com/corazawaf/coraza/commit/24af0c8cf4f10bab558740b595712be3b85493ec.
Mitigation
The error from mime.ParseMediaType should return directly.

GHSA-C2RX-5R8W-8XR2
Vulnerability from github – Published: 2026-06-08 19:02 – Updated: 2026-06-12 19:27Summary
The default configuration of the Http3ConnectionHandler in the Netty HTTP/3 codec lacks an enforced maximum header size limit. When a peer does not explicitly specify HTTP3_SETTINGS_MAX_FIELD_SECTION_SIZE, the implementation defaults to an unbounded limit. This insecure default configuration allows a malicious client or server to send an enormous number of headers, leading to a memory exhaustion Denial of Service via an OutOfMemoryError.
Details
Netty securely limits header sizes for older protocols. In HTTP/1.1, Netty strictly enforces an 8192-byte limit out-of-the-box via HttpObjectDecoder. For HTTP/2, while RFC 9113 specifies that SETTINGS_MAX_HEADER_LIST_SIZE defaults to unlimited, Netty securely overrides this RFC default by enforcing an 8192-byte limit (Http2CodecUtil.DEFAULT_HEADER_LIST_SIZE).
However, this secure-by-default configuration is missing in the HTTP/3 implementation. While Netty provides a mechanism to configure the maximum header field section size via Http3Settings, its out-of-the-box behaviour strictly follows RFC 9114's unlimited default.
Because many developers rely on the framework's default configurations and basic constructors, their applications are unknowingly left vulnerable. This nearly infinite default limit is passed into Http3FrameCodec#newFactory and stored as maxHeaderListSize inside Http3FrameCodec.
A bad actor can continuously send HTTP/3 headers within a connection, exploiting the insecure default configuration to consume server memory unconditionally until the application crashes with an OutOfMemoryError.
Impact
Denial of Service via memory exhaustion. All applications using Netty's HTTP/3 codec with its default configuration are impacted.

GHSA-C2V2-7RCG-2CH7
Vulnerability from github – Published: 2020-09-01 15:17 – Updated: 2021-01-14 15:58The ansi2html package is affected by a regular expression denial of service vulnerability when certain types of user input is passed in.
Proof of concept
var ansi2html = require('ansi2html')
var start = process.hrtime();
ansi2html("[1111111111111111111111;0000000000000000000000");
console.log(process.hrtime(start));
start = process.hrtime();
ansi2html("[1111111111111111111111;00000000000000000000000");
console.log(process.hrtime(start));
start = process.hrtime();
ansi2html("[1111111111111111111111;000000000000000000000000");

Recommendation
At the time of this writing, February 2018, all versions of ansi2html remain vulnerable, and the package has not been updated for 4 years.
In order to use this package safely, it is necessary to avoid passing user input to the package, or to limit the size of the input string to a size with a parse time you find acceptable. Unfortunately, the match time grows at quite a small character count, so it is unlikely for it to both allow strings of a useful size while protecting against the denial of service attack.
In the case that user input of significant length must be parsed by ansi2html, the best mitigation is to use an alternative module that is actively maintained and provides similar functionality. There are [multiple modules fitting this criteria available on npm.]available on npm

Mitigation
Design throttling mechanisms into the system architecture. The best protection is to limit the amount of resources that an unauthorized user can cause to be expended. A strong authentication and access control model will help prevent such attacks from occurring in the first place. The login application should be protected against DoS attacks as much as possible. Limiting the database access, perhaps by caching result sets, can help minimize the resources expended. To further limit the potential for a DoS attack, consider tracking the rate of requests received from users and blocking requests that exceed a defined rate threshold.
Mitigation
- Mitigation of resource exhaustion attacks requires that the target system either:
- The first of these solutions is an issue in itself though, since it may allow attackers to prevent the use of the system by a particular valid user. If the attacker impersonates the valid user, they may be able to prevent the user from accessing the server in question.
- The second solution is simply difficult to effectively institute -- and even when properly done, it does not provide a full solution. It simply makes the attack require more resources on the part of the attacker.
- recognizes the attack and denies that user further access for a given amount of time, or
- uniformly throttles all requests in order to make it more difficult to consume resources more quickly than they can again be freed.
Mitigation
Ensure that protocols have specific limits of scale placed on them.
Mitigation
Ensure that all failures in resource allocation place the system into a safe posture.
CAPEC-147: XML Ping of the Death
An attacker initiates a resource depletion attack where a large number of small XML messages are delivered at a sufficiently rapid rate to cause a denial of service or crash of the target. Transactions such as repetitive SOAP transactions can deplete resources faster than a simple flooding attack because of the additional resources used by the SOAP protocol and the resources necessary to process SOAP messages. The transactions used are immaterial as long as they cause resource utilization on the target. In other words, this is a normal flooding attack augmented by using messages that will require extra processing on the target.
CAPEC-227: Sustained Client Engagement
An adversary attempts to deny legitimate users access to a resource by continually engaging a specific resource in an attempt to keep the resource tied up as long as possible. The adversary's primary goal is not to crash or flood the target, which would alert defenders; rather it is to repeatedly perform actions or abuse algorithmic flaws such that a given resource is tied up and not available to a legitimate user. By carefully crafting a requests that keep the resource engaged through what is seemingly benign requests, legitimate users are limited or completely denied access to the resource.
CAPEC-492: Regular Expression Exponential Blowup
An adversary may execute an attack on a program that uses a poor Regular Expression(Regex) implementation by choosing input that results in an extreme situation for the Regex. A typical extreme situation operates at exponential time compared to the input size. This is due to most implementations using a Nondeterministic Finite Automaton(NFA) state machine to be built by the Regex algorithm since NFA allows backtracking and thus more complex regular expressions.
