Detailsinfo

A vulnerability was found in body-parser 2.2.0. It has been classified as problematic. This affects an unknown code block of the component URL Handler. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a resource consumption vulnerability. CWE is classifying the issue as CWE-400. The product does not properly control the allocation and maintenance of a limited resource, thereby enabling an actor to influence the amount of resources consumed, eventually leading to the exhaustion of available resources. This is going to have an impact on availability. The summary by CVE is:

body-parser 2.2.0 is vulnerable to denial of service due to inefficient handling of URL-encoded bodies with very large numbers of parameters. An attacker can send payloads containing thousands of parameters within the default 100KB request size limit, causing elevated CPU and memory usage. This can lead to service slowdown or partial outages under sustained malicious traffic. This issue is addressed in version 2.2.1.

The weakness was shared by Phillip Barta as GHSA-wqch-xfxh-vrr4. The advisory is shared at github.com. This vulnerability is uniquely identified as CVE-2025-13466 since 11/20/2025. The exploitability is told to be easy. It is possible to initiate the attack remotely. No form of authentication is needed for exploitation. Neither technical details nor an exploit are publicly available. MITRE ATT&CK project uses the attack technique T1499 for this issue.

The vulnerability scanner Nessus provides a plugin with the ID 276681 (Linux Distros Unpatched Vulnerability : CVE-2025-13466), which helps to determine the existence of the flaw in a target environment.
