Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Allocation of Resources Without Limits or Throttling incomplete enforcement of request throttling in the HTTP handler chain, allowing repeated authentication attempts against endpoints such as /health without per-IP rate limiting. An attacker can increase the likelihood of successfully guessing weak API tokens by sending a high volume of requests to auth-checkable endpoints without receiving rate-limit responses. This is only exploitable if the API is exposed to untrusted networks and a weak or guessable token is configured.
