NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream prism package and not the prism package as distributed by Chainguard. See How to fix? for Chainguard relevant fixed versions and status.

Axios is a promise based HTTP client for the browser and Node.js. When Axios prior to version 1.11.0 runs on Node.js and is given a URL with the data: scheme, it does not perform HTTP. Instead, its Node http adapter decodes the entire payload into memory (Buffer/Blob) and returns a synthetic 200 response. This path ignores maxContentLength / maxBodyLength (which only protect HTTP responses), so an attacker can supply a very large data: URI and cause the process to allocate unbounded memory and crash (DoS), even if the caller requested responseType: &#39;stream&#39;. Version 1.11.0 contains a patch for the issue.
