GHSA-mj24-gpw7-23m9
Denial of service vulnerability on creating a Launch with too many recursively nested elements in reportportal
Packages
| Ecosystem | Package | Affected | Fixed in |
|---|---|---|---|
| Maven | com.epam.reportportal:service-api | < 5.10.0 | 5.10.0 |
Details
As written in the advisory (Markdown source, shown as plain text).
### Impact
ReportPortal database becomes unstable and reporting almost fully stops except for small launches with approximately 1 test inside when the test_item.path field is exceeded the allowable "ltree" field type indexing limit (path length>=120 approximately, recursive nesting of the nested steps).
REINDEX INDEX path_gist_idx and path_idx aren't helped.
### Patches
The problem was fixed in `service-api` module of version `5.10.0` (product release [23.2](https://reportportal.io/docs/releases/Version23.2/)), where the maximum number of nested elements were programmatically limited.
### Workarounds
After deletion of the data with long paths, and reindexing both indexes (path_gist_idx and path_idx), the database becomes stable and ReportPortal is working properly.
