DescriptionGitHub Advisory
Fedify is a TypeScript library for building federated server apps powered by ActivityPub. Prior to 1.9.6, 1.10.5, 2.0.8, and 2.1.1, @fedify/fedify follows HTTP redirects recursively in its remote document loader and authenticated document loader without enforcing a maximum redirect count or visited-URL loop detection. An attacker who controls a remote ActivityPub key or actor URL can force a server using Fedify to make repeated outbound requests from a single inbound request, leading to resource consumption and denial of service. This vulnerability is fixed in 1.9.6, 1.10.5, 2.0.8, and 2.1.1.
AnalysisAI
Unbounded HTTP redirect following in Fedify's ActivityPub document loaders enables resource exhaustion attacks. Remote unauthenticated attackers can trigger denial of service by controlling ActivityPub key or actor URLs that redirect indefinitely, forcing affected servers (Fedify versions before 1.9.6, 1.10.5, 2.0.8, and 2.1.1) to make repeated outbound requests from a single inbound request. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Attacker controls a remote ActivityPub key or actor URL. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | Real-world risk is moderate to high for internet-facing ActivityPub servers. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | An attacker registers a malicious ActivityPub server and creates an actor profile with a crafted publicKey or actor URL pointing to an endpoint under their control. This endpoint returns HTTP 302 redirects in an infinite loop (e.g., A redirects to B, B redirects to A) or a very long chain (hundreds of redirects). … |
| Remediation | Upgrade Fedify to a patched version immediately based on your current major version branch. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
