How to Fix GHSA-hf3r-vmrv-7w29

To remediate this vulnerability, upgrade all affected Duplicate Advisory dependencies to a patched release. Both direct and transitive dependencies should be checked, as frameworks or security libraries may pull in vulnerable versions transitively.

PeterO.Cbor fixed: 4.5.1 
Upgrade PeterO.Cbor to 4.5.1
Verify Direct and Transitive Dependencies

Run the following command in your project directory to verify that all resolved dependencies use the patched release: 

inspect dependencies for PeterO.Cbor

How to Check if You Are Affected

To determine whether your application is affected by GHSA-hf3r-vmrv-7w29, inspect your project dependencies for Duplicate Advisory:

inspect dependencies for PeterO.Cbor

Analyze the terminal output to locate any version of Duplicate Advisory in your dependency tree. If any resolved version matches the vulnerable ranges listed in the table below (for example, versions earlier than 4.5.1), your application is affected.

Note: Verify declared build manifests and deployed runtime container environments.

Technical Details

Vulnerability Mechanism & Technical Analysis

This vulnerability is classified under CWE-407: Inefficient Algorithmic Complexity, where an algorithm in a product has an inefficient worst-case computational complexity that may be detrimental to system performance and can be triggered by an attacker, typically using crafted manipulations that ensure that the worst case is being reached. In Duplicate Advisory, 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

### Duplicate Advisory This advisory has been withdrawn because it is a duplicate of GHSA-6r92-cgxc-r5fg. This link is maintained to preserve external references. ### Original Description PeterO.Cbor versions 4.0.0 through 4.5.0 are vulnerable to a denial of service vulnerability. An attacker may trigger the denial of service condition by providing crafted data to the DecodeFromBytes or other decoding mechanisms in PeterO.Cbor. Depending on the usage of the library, an unauthenticated and remote attacker may be able to cause the denial of service condition.
