GHSA-VRW3-R7JW-4785

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2025-03-20 12:32 – Updated: 2025-03-20 12:32

Details

A vulnerability in danswer-ai/danswer version 0.9.0 allows for denial of service through memory exhaustion. The issue arises from the use of a vulnerable version of the starlette package (<=0.49) via fastapi, which was patched in fastapi version 0.115.3. The vulnerability can be exploited by sending multiple requests to the /auth/saml/callback endpoint, leading to uncontrolled memory consumption and eventual denial of service.

Severity ?

7.5 (High)
