Overview
Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Missing Release of Memory after Effective Lifetime via the MicrometerHttpClientInterceptor. An attacker can cause unbounded memory consumption by repeatedly triggering asynchronous request failures before receiving a response, such as through connection resets or timeouts. This can ultimately lead to heap exhaustion and application crashes.
