Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Allocation of Resources Without Limits or Throttling via unbounded caching of StringLinkRelation instances. An attacker can cause denial of service by supplying a large number of unique link relation values, causing the static cache to grow without limit. Repeated processing of attacker-controlled hypermedia can consume excessive memory and eventually lead to application unavailability.
