CVE-2026-33241 (GCVE-0-2026-33241)

Vulnerability from cvelistv5 – Published: 2026-03-23 23:41 – Updated: 2026-03-25 19:22

Title

Salvo Affected by Denial of Service via Unbounded Memory Allocation in Form Data Parsing

Summary

Salvo is a Rust web framework. Prior to version 0.89.3, Salvo's form data parsing implementations (`form_data()` method and `Extractible` macro) do not enforce payload size limits before reading request bodies into memory. This allows attackers to cause Out-of-Memory (OOM) conditions by sending extremely large payloads, leading to service crashes and denial of service. Version 0.89.3 contains a patch.

Severity

8.7 (High)

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2026-03-19 12:44 – Updated: 2026-03-25 20:48

Summary

Salvo Affected by Denial of Service via Unbounded Memory Allocation in Form Data Parsing

Details

Summary

Salvo's form data parsing implementations (form_data() method and Extractible macro) do not enforce payload size limits before reading request bodies into memory. This allows attackers to cause Out-of-Memory (OOM) conditions by sending extremely large payloads, leading to service crashes and denial of service.

Details

Vulnerability Description

Three attack vectors exist in Salvo's form handling:

URL-encoded form data (application/x-www-form-urlencoded)
Request::form_data() calls BodyExt::collect(body) which reads the entire body into memory without size checking
Affects handlers using req.form_data().await directly
Multipart form data (multipart/form-data)
Similar unbounded memory allocation during parsing
Affects handlers processing multipart uploads
Extractible macro
#[derive(Extractible)] with #[salvo(extract(default_source(from = "body")))] internally calls form_data()
Vulnerabilities propagate to all extractors using body sources

Root Cause

The FormData::read() implementation prioritizes convenience over safety by reading entire request bodies before validation. Even when Request::payload_with_max_size() is available, it's not automatically applied in the form parsing path.

PoC

run Extract data from request example in readme.md in docker file with limited memory say 100mb.
Send application/x-www-form-urlencoded OR multipart/form-data payload to the endpoint.
The server process OOM-crashes, instead of returning 413 error.

Impact

Immediate Effects

Service Unavailability: Servers crash under memory pressure
Resource Exhaustion: Single request can consume all available memory
Cascading Failures: In containerized environments, OOM can affect other services

Attack Characteristics

Low Cost: Attacker needs minimal bandwidth (header only, body can be streamed)
No Authentication: Exploitable on public endpoints
Difficult to Rate-Limit: Traditional rate limiting may not prevent single large request
Amplification: Small network cost → large memory consumption

Real-World Scenarios

Public API endpoints accepting form data
User registration/profile update handlers
File upload endpoints using multipart forms
Any endpoint using #[derive(Extractible)] with body sources

Suggestion: Make Multipart File Upload Handling Explicit Opt-In

Problem Statement

Currently, Salvo's multipart form data parsing automatically handles file uploads without explicit developer intent. This creates several security and usability concerns:

Unintended File Storage: Developers may unknowingly accept file uploads when they only intended to handle text fields
Disk Space Exhaustion: Automatic file buffering to disk can fill storage without proper limits
Resource Cleanup: Temporary files may not be properly cleaned up if handlers don't expect them
Attack Surface: Endpoints inadvertently become file upload targets

Severity

8.7 (High)

Any endpoint using `#[derive(Extractible)]` with body sources\n\n## Suggestion: Make Multipart File Upload Handling Explicit Opt-In\n\n### Problem Statement\n\nCurrently, Salvo\u0027s multipart form data parsing automatically handles file uploads without explicit developer intent. This creates several security and usability concerns:\n\n1. **Unintended File Storage**: Developers may unknowingly accept file uploads when they only intended to handle text fields\n2. **Disk Space Exhaustion**: Automatic file buffering to disk can fill storage without proper limits\n3. **Resource Cleanup**: Temporary files may not be properly cleaned up if handlers don\u0027t expect them\n4. **Attack Surface**: Endpoints inadvertently become file upload targets",

The MITRE ATT&CK techniques below are AI-generated suggestions, inferred from the description of the vulnerability by the CIRCL/vulnerability-attack-technique-classification-roberta-base model, served locally by ML-Gateway. They have not been verified by an analyst and are provided for guidance only.
The approach is described in our paper Mapping CVEs to MITRE ATT&CK Techniques: A Curated Gold-Set Classifier and the Limits of LLM-Assisted Label Expansion.
