GHSA-5q86-62xr-3r57
Uses of deprecated API can be used to cause DoS in user-facing endpoints
Packages
| Ecosystem | Package | Affected | Fixed in |
|---|---|---|---|
| Go | github.com/argoproj/argo-events | < 1.7.1 | 1.7.1 |
Details
As written in the advisory (Markdown source, shown as plain text).
### Impact
Several `HandleRoute` endpoints make use of the deprecated `ioutil.ReadAll()`. `ioutil.ReadAll()` reads all the data into memory. As such, an attacker who sends a large request to the Argo Events server will be able to crash it and cause denial of service.
Eventsources susceptible to an out-of-memory denial-of-service attack:
- AWS SNS
- Bitbucket
- Bitbucket
- Gitlab
- Slack
- Storagegrid
- Webhook
### Patches
