Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Allocation of Resources Without Limits or Throttling through the resp.read function in the HTTP client, which reads response bodies without a maximum size limit. An attacker can cause excessive memory consumption by returning a very large HTTP response, potentially leading to process termination or system resource exhaustion.
