CyberRota Analysis
AI-GeneratedZapros, a Python HTTP client, is vulnerable to denial of service due to memory exhaustion in versions prior to 0.14.0, particularly when handling streamed compressed responses. This vulnerability allows attackers to exploit the chunk size handling, potentially leading to significant memory overflow. Developers and organizations using Zapros for HTTP requests should prioritize upgrading to version 0.14.0 or implementing the recommended workarounds to mitigate the risk.

Original NVD Description
Zapros, a Python HTTP client, prior to version 0.14.0 is vulnerable to denial of service via memory exhaustion. The issue affects all callers who streamed compressed responses relying on the chunk size — explicit (`iter_bytes(chunk_size=...)`) or the default — to bound memory. The decoder ignored that bound, so a chunk could be far larger than requested and a single compressed response could overflow memory. Version 0.14.0 contains a patch. Some workarounds are available. Read the still-compressed body with `Response.iter_raw()` / `Response.async_iter_raw()`, which bypass the built-in decoders, and decompress it yourself with an explicit output-size bound (e.g. `zlib`'s `max_length`), aborting once a configured limit is exceeded. Where feasible, send `Accept-Encoding: identity` to disable response compression so bodies are not decompressed client-side. Avoid decoding response bodies from untrusted servers.
