GHSA-Q5PR-72PQ-83V3
Vulnerability from github – Published: 2026-03-23 21:44 – Updated: 2026-03-23 21:49Summary
The setChunkedCookie() and deleteChunkedCookie() functions in h3 trust the chunk count parsed from a user-controlled cookie value (__chunked__N) without any upper bound validation. An unauthenticated attacker can send a single request with a crafted cookie header (e.g., Cookie: h3=__chunked__999999) to any endpoint using sessions, causing the server to enter an O(n²) loop that hangs the process.
Details
The chunked cookie system stores large cookie values by splitting them into numbered chunks. The main cookie stores a sentinel value __chunked__N indicating how many chunks exist. When setting a new chunked cookie, the code cleans up any previous chunks that are no longer needed.
The vulnerability is in getChunkedCookieCount() at src/utils/cookie.ts:244-249:
function getChunkedCookieCount(cookie: string | undefined): number {
if (!cookie?.startsWith(CHUNKED_COOKIE)) {
return Number.NaN;
}
return Number.parseInt(cookie.slice(CHUNKED_COOKIE.length));
// No upper bound check — attacker controls this value
}
This value is consumed without validation in the cleanup loop of setChunkedCookie() at src/utils/cookie.ts:182-190:
const previousCookie = getCookie(event, name); // reads from request headers
if (previousCookie?.startsWith(CHUNKED_COOKIE)) {
const previousChunkCount = getChunkedCookieCount(previousCookie);
if (previousChunkCount > chunkCount) {
for (let i = chunkCount; i <= previousChunkCount; i++) {
deleteCookie(event, chunkCookieName(name, i), options);
// Each deleteCookie → setCookie → scans ALL existing set-cookie headers
}
}
}
The same issue exists in deleteChunkedCookie() at src/utils/cookie.ts:227-232:
const chunksCount = getChunkedCookieCount(mainCookie);
if (chunksCount >= 0) {
for (let i = 0; i < chunksCount; i++) {
deleteCookie(event, chunkCookieName(name, i + 1), serializeOptions);
}
}
The exploit chain through sessions:
- Attacker sends
Cookie: h3=__chunked__999999to any session-using endpoint getSession()(src/utils/session.ts:83) callsgetChunkedCookie(event, "h3")(line 124)getChunkedCookie()returnsundefined— the early return at line 153 fires because no actual chunk cookies (e.g.,h3.1) exist in the request- Since
sealedSessionis undefined,session.idremains empty (line 140), triggeringupdateSession()(line 143) updateSession()callssetChunkedCookie()with the newly sealed session value (line 179)- Inside
setChunkedCookie(),getCookie(event, name)re-reads the original request cookie__chunked__999999at line 182 previousChunkCount= 999999,chunkCount= 1 (new sealed session is small)- The cleanup loop runs 999,998 iterations, each calling
deleteCookie()→setCookie() - Each
setCookie()call reads ALL existingset-cookieresponse headers viagetSetCookie()(line 91) and iterates through them for deduplication (lines 100-106) - This creates O(n²) complexity — approximately 10¹² operations for n=999999
Key observation: While getChunkedCookie() has an early-return optimization (line 153) that prevents it from looping on missing chunks, the cleanup loops in setChunkedCookie() and deleteChunkedCookie() have no such protection and run unconditionally for the full claimed chunk count.
PoC
Prerequisites: An h3 application with any endpoint using getSession() or useSession().
Example minimal server:
import { H3 } from "h3";
import { getSession } from "h3";
const app = new H3();
app.get("/dashboard", async (event) => {
const session = await getSession(event, {
password: "my-secret-password-at-least-32-chars-long!",
});
return { user: session.data.user || "anonymous" };
});
export default app;
Attack (single request, no authentication):
# This single request will hang the server process
curl -H 'Cookie: h3=__chunked__999999' http://localhost:3000/dashboard
For a less extreme but still impactful test:
# ~100K iterations — will take several seconds and block all other requests
curl -H 'Cookie: h3=__chunked__100000' http://localhost:3000/dashboard
The deleteChunkedCookie() path is exploitable via clearSession():
app.post("/logout", async (event) => {
await clearSession(event, {
password: "my-secret-password-at-least-32-chars-long!",
});
return { ok: true };
});
curl -X POST -H 'Cookie: h3=__chunked__999999' http://localhost:3000/logout
Impact
- Complete Denial of Service: A single unauthenticated request with a 27-byte cookie header can hang the server process indefinitely. Node.js is single-threaded, so this blocks all request handling.
- No authentication required: The attack only requires the ability to send HTTP requests with a crafted cookie header.
- Minimal attacker effort: The payload is trivially small (
Cookie: h3=__chunked__999999), making it easy to automate or repeat. - Wide attack surface: Any endpoint in the application that uses
getSession(),useSession(), orclearSession()is vulnerable. Session usage is extremely common in web applications. - Amplification: The ratio of attacker input (27 bytes) to server work (billions of operations) is extreme.
Recommended Fix
Add a maximum chunk count constant and validate in getChunkedCookieCount():
const MAX_CHUNKED_COOKIE_COUNT = 100;
function getChunkedCookieCount(cookie: string | undefined): number {
if (!cookie?.startsWith(CHUNKED_COOKIE)) {
return Number.NaN;
}
const count = Number.parseInt(cookie.slice(CHUNKED_COOKIE.length));
if (Number.isNaN(count) || count < 0 || count > MAX_CHUNKED_COOKIE_COUNT) {
return Number.NaN;
}
return count;
}
This clamps the parsed count at a safe maximum. Since each chunk can hold ~4000 bytes and 100 chunks would allow ~400KB of cookie data (far beyond any practical limit), MAX_CHUNKED_COOKIE_COUNT = 100 is generous while eliminating the DoS vector.
Additionally, the callers should be updated to handle NaN safely. The cleanup loop in setChunkedCookie() already handles this correctly since NaN > chunkCount is false, so the loop won't execute. The deleteChunkedCookie() loop also handles it since NaN >= 0 is false.

An issue exists where, under certain circumstances, the library could an infinite loop, resulting in denial of service. As of August 20, 2025, this library has been deprecated and will not receive further updates.
Impact
An infinite loop issue in Amazon.IonDotnet library versions <v1.3.2 may allow a threat actor to cause a denial of service through a specially crafted text input. This invalid input triggered an error condition in the parser that was handled improperly, resulting in an infinite loop.
Impacted versions:
<1.3.2
Patches
This issue has been addressed in Amazon.IonDotnet version 1.3.2. We recommend upgrading to the latest version and ensuring any forked or derivative code is patched to incorporate the new fixes.
Workarounds
Only accept data from trusted sources, written using a supported Ion library.

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.
