CyberRota Analysis
AI-GeneratedThe vulnerability affects axios versions prior to 0.33.0 and 1.18.0, specifically in the formDataToJSON function, which can lead to unbounded recursion when processing attacker-controlled FormData field names. This can result in a denial of service by exhausting the JavaScript call stack, potentially terminating the application if error handling is inadequate. Developers and organizations using affected axios versions should prioritize patching to mitigate the risk of service disruption.

Original NVD Description
axios versions from 0.28.0 before 0.33.0 and from 1.0.0 before 1.18.0 contain uncontrolled recursion in formDataToJSON (exposed as axios.formToJSON() and used internally when serializing FormData with Content-Type: application/json). When an application passes attacker-controlled FormData field names, a field name with thousands of nested bracket-delimited segments causes unbounded recursion in buildPath(), exhausting the JavaScript call stack (RangeError: Maximum call stack size exceeded) and causing denial of service for that request, or process termination in applications without appropriate error handling.
