Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Mar 12, 2026
TinyWeb versions prior to 2.02 lack connection limits and request timeouts, enabling unauthenticated remote attackers to trigger denial of service through Slowloris attacks by maintaining numerous concurrent connections and transmitting data at minimal rates. The vulnerability affects all systems running vulnerable TinyWeb instances, with attackers capable of exhausting server resources and rendering services unavailable. A patch is available that implements connection limits and idle timeouts to mitigate the attack vector.

TinyWeb is a web server (HTTP, HTTPS) written in Delphi for Win32. Versions prior to version 2.02 are vulnerable to a Denial of Service (DoS) attack known as Slowloris. [CVSS 7.5 HIGH]
RemediationAI
A vendor patch is available — apply it immediately. Restrict network access to the affected service where possible.

Technical ContextAI · show details
Classified as CWE-400 (Uncontrolled Resource Consumption). Affects Tinyweb. TinyWeb is a web server (HTTP, HTTPS) written in Delphi for Win32. Versions prior to version 2.02 are vulnerable to a Denial of Service (DoS) attack known as Slowloris. The server spawns a new OS thread for every incoming connection without enforcing a maximum concurrency limit or an appropriate request timeout. An unauthenticated remote attacker can exhaust server concurrency limits and memory by opening numerous connections and sending data exceptionally slowly (e.g. 1 byte every few minutes).

2DescriptionGitHub Advisory
TinyWeb is a web server (HTTP, HTTPS) written in Delphi for Win32. Versions prior to version 2.02 are vulnerable to a Denial of Service (DoS) attack known as Slowloris. The server spawns a new OS thread for every incoming connection without enforcing a maximum concurrency limit or an appropriate request timeout. An unauthenticated remote attacker can exhaust server concurrency limits and memory by opening numerous connections and sending data exceptionally slowly (e.g. 1 byte every few minutes). Anyone hosting services using TinyWeb is impacted. Version 2.02 fixes the issue. The patch introduces a CMaxConnections limit (set to 512) and a CConnectionTimeoutSecs idle timeout (set to 30 seconds). As a temporary workaround if upgrading is not immediately possible, consider placing the server behind a robust reverse proxy or Web Application Firewall (WAF) such as nginx, HAProxy, or Cloudflare, configured to buffer incomplete requests and aggressively enforce connection limits and timeouts.
Executive ViewAI
TinyWeb servers running versions prior to 2.02 are vulnerable to Slowloris denial of service attacks that can render web services unavailable to legitimate users. Organizations using affected TinyWeb instances risk service disruption and potential business continuity impact until patched.
Apply vendor patch.
