Denial of Service in axios

High severity GitHub Reviewed Published May 29, 2019 to the GitHub Advisory Database • Updated Apr 14, 2023

Package

npm axios (npm)

Affected versions

<= 0.18.0

Patched versions

0.18.1

Description

Versions of axios prior to 0.18.1 are vulnerable to Denial of Service. If a request exceeds the maxContentLength property, the package prints an error but does not stop the request. This may cause high CPU usage and lead to Denial of Service.
