Uncontrolled Resource Consumption, Deserialization of Untrusted Data vulnerability in hexpm hex_core (hex_api modules), hexpm hex (mix_hex_api modules), erlang rebar3 (r3_hex_api modules) allows Object Injection, Excessive Allocation. This vulnerability is associated with program files src/hex_api.erl, src/mix_hex_api.erl, apps/rebar/src/vendored/r3_hex_api.erl and program routines hex_core:request/4, mix_hex_api:request/4, r3_hex_api:request/4.
This issue affects hex_core: from 0.1.0 before 0.12.1; hex: from 2.3.0 before 2.3.2; rebar3: from 3.9.1 before 3.27.0.
AnalysisAI
Uncontrolled resource consumption in hex_core, hex, and rebar3 package managers results from unsafe deserialization of untrusted data in API request handling, enabling remote attackers to trigger excessive memory allocation and denial of service without authentication. Affected versions include hex_core before 0.12.1, hex before 2.3.2, and rebar3 before 3.27.0, with no patch currently available. An attacker can exploit this remotely over the network to exhaust system resources and crash affected Erlang/Elixir build environments.
Technical ContextAI
Classified as CWE-400 (Uncontrolled Resource Consumption). Affects from 0.1.0. Uncontrolled Resource Consumption, Deserialization of Untrusted Data vulnerability in hexpm hex_core (hex_api modules), hexpm hex (mix_hex_api modules), erlang rebar3 (r3_hex_api modules) allows Object Injection, Excessive Allocation. This vulnerability is associated with program files src/hex_api.erl, src/mix_hex_api.erl, apps/rebar/src/vendored/r3_hex_api.erl and program routines hex_core:request/4, mix_hex_api:request/4, r3_hex_api:request/4.
This issue affects hex_core: from 0.1.0 before 0.
