Overview
Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Allocation of Resources Without Limits or Throttling due to the lack of timeout configuration in the http.DefaultClient used for remote post-serve actions. An attacker can exhaust system memory and crash the process by registering a remote post-serve action pointing to a non-responsive endpoint and sending repeated proxy requests, causing unbounded accumulation of blocked goroutines.
