Nest Affected by DoS via Recursive handleData in JsonSocket (TCP Transport)
2.0.0 - 11.1.18
2.0.0 - 11.1.18
Summary
Nest Affected by DoS via Recursive handleData in JsonSocket (TCP Transport)
Details
Impact
Attacker sends many small, valid JSON messages in one TCP frame → handleData() recurses once per message; buffer shrinks each call → maxBufferSize is never reached; call stack overflows instead → A ~47 KB payload is sufficient to trigger RangeError
