Upgrade thrift to version 0.24.0 or higher.
Overview
thrift is a lightweight, language-independent software stack with an associated code generation mechanism for point-to-point RPC.
Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Allocation of Resources Without Limits or Throttling through the TBufferedTransport.receiver and TFramedTransport.receiver paths in lib/nodejs/lib/thrift/buffered_transport and lib/nodejs/lib/thrift/framed_transport. An attacker can exhaust CPU and memory by sending a message or frame split into many small chunks, causing repeated buffer reallocations and copies while the transport accumulates the input. When these receivers are used by Node.js servers such as createMultiplexServer or createWebServer, a crafted stream of fragmented input can dramatically slow the service or drive it into memory pressure and denial-of-service conditions.
