Overview

@steipete/summarize-core is a Summarize core library (content extraction + prompts).

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Allocation of Resources Without Limits or Throttling via the temp-file download process. An attacker can exhaust disk or system resources by streaming an unbounded media response to local storage when the response bypasses the enforced size limit due to missing or misreported Content-Length headers, chunked transfer encoding, or failed HEAD requests.
