CyberRota Analysis
AI-GeneratedThe vulnerability affects the undici library, specifically its decompress interceptor, which improperly handles untrusted Content-Encoding headers, allowing for the exploitation of memory resources. Attackers can leverage this flaw to send a small compressed payload that expands significantly in memory, potentially leading to excessive resource consumption and process crashes. Organizations using affected versions of undici should prioritize upgrading to versions 7.29.1 or 8.10.2 to mitigate this risk.

Original NVD Description
undici's decompress interceptor decompresses response bodies according to the untrusted Content-Encoding header. While the number of content-encoding layers is capped, the total decompressed output size is unbounded and there is no configuration option to limit it. A malicious or faulty upstream can therefore return a small compressed payload, a compression bomb, that expands to hundreds of megabytes or more in client memory, an asymmetric resource consumption that can exhaust memory and crash the process. This affects undici versions from 7.15.0 up to 7.29.1 and from 8.0.0 up to 8.10.2. Users should upgrade to undici 7.29.1 or 8.10.2.
