Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Allocation of Resources Without Limits or Throttling in the MultipartReader.ReadHeadersAsync method, which enforces the multipart HeadersCountLimit against the accumulator's distinct-key count rather than its total value count. An attacker can bypass the configured header-count limit and drive excessive memory and CPU use by sending a multipart section that repeats a single header name many times, since the duplicate values collapse to one key and never trip the limit. Reaching this requires an endpoint that reads multipart or form request bodies through ReadFormAsync, MVC or Minimal-API form and file binding, or MultipartReader directly.
