Technical Details

Vulnerability Mechanism & Technical Analysis

This vulnerability is classified under CWE-400: Uncontrolled Resource Consumption, where the product does not properly control the allocation and maintenance of a limited resource. In Atomys.codes/stud42, software state validation or input boundaries are circumvented during processing. Review the official source advisory statement below for specific affected components, classes, and reproduction details.

Source Advisory Statement

A security vulnerability has been identified in the GraphQL parser used by the API of s42.app. An attacker can overload the parser and cause the API pod to crash. With a bit of threading, the attacker can bring down the entire API, resulting in an unhealthy stream. This vulnerability can be exploited by sending a specially crafted request to the API with a large payload. An attacker can exploit this vulnerability to cause a denial of service (DoS) attack on the s42.app API, resulting in unavailability of the API for legitimate users.
