  "summary" : "Faraday: Uncontrolled recursion in NestedParamsEncoder allows stack exhaustion DoS via deeply nested query parameters",
  "details" : "`Faraday::NestedParamsEncoder`, the default nested query parameter encoder/decoder in Faraday, decodes nested query strings without enforcing a maximum nesting depth.\n\nA crafted query string such as:\n\n```text\na[x][x][x][x]...[x]=1\n```\n\ncauses Faraday to build a deeply nested Ruby `Hash` structure. The internal `dehash` routine then recursively walks this attacker-controlled structure without a depth limit. At sufficient depth, Ruby raises an uncaught `SystemStackError` (`stack level too deep`), crashing the calling thread or worker. This can lead to denial of service in applications that pass attacker-controlled query strings to Faraday's nested query parsing or URL-building paths.\n\nThis has been patched in version 2.14.3 and backported to 1.10.6.",
