CVE-2026-50506 (opens in a new tab)How to fix?
Upgrade Microsoft.AspNet.OData to version 7.8.0 or higher.
Overview
Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Allocation of Resources Without Limits or Throttling in the ODataBatchHandler and its reader and writer settings, which override the parser's conservative 1 MB MaxReceivedMessageSize default with Int64.MaxValue, removing the size limit on request bodies. An attacker can exhaust server memory by sending an oversized OData request body to a POST, PUT, PATCH, or $batch endpoint. This requires OData endpoints reachable by untrusted clients, which is the standard deployment.
Workaround
This vulnerability can be avoided by enforcing a request body size limit at the host or reverse proxy layer, such as Kestrel's MaxRequestBodySize or IIS maxAllowedContentLength, so oversized payloads are rejected before OData reads them.
