DescriptionGitHub Advisory

SvelteKit is a framework for rapidly developing robust, performant web applications using Svelte. Prior to 2.57.1, under certain circumstances, requests could bypass the BODY_SIZE_LIMIT on SvelteKit applications running with adapter-node. This bypass does not affect body size limits at other layers of the application stack, so limits enforced in the WAF, gateway, or at the platform level are unaffected. This vulnerability is fixed in 2.57.1.

AnalysisAI

Request body size limit bypass in SvelteKit adapter-node allows unauthenticated attackers to submit oversized payloads, causing denial of service through resource exhaustion. Affects SvelteKit versions prior to 2.57.1 running adapter-node. Exploitation requires specific timing conditions (CVSS AT:P). Platform-level and WAF body size limits remain effective. No public exploit identified at time of analysis. Vulnerability exploits CWE-770 resource allocation flaw where BODY_SIZE_LIMIT enforcement fails under race conditions or specific request patterns.

Technical ContextAI

CWE-770 resource allocation flaw in adapter-node's request body handling. Under specific timing conditions (CVSS AT:P), the BODY_SIZE_LIMIT validation is bypassed before stream processing, allowing unbounded memory consumption. Root cause traced to commit 3202ed6 addressing race condition in body size enforcement logic. Affects cpe:2.3:a:sveltejs:kit applications using Node.js adapter exclusively.

RemediationAI

Vendor-released patch: upgrade SvelteKit to version 2.57.1 or later. Apply update via npm/yarn: npm install @sveltejs/kit@2.57.1 or yarn upgrade @sveltejs/kit@2.57.1. Patch fixes body size validation race condition identified in commit 3202ed6c98f9e8d86bf0c4c7ad0f2e273e5e3b95. Workaround: enforce body size limits at reverse proxy, WAF, or platform layer (e.g., nginx client_max_body_size, AWS ALB request size limits). Monitor application memory usage for anomalies. Release advisory: https://github.com/sveltejs/kit/security/advisories/GHSA-2crg-3p73-43xp. Confirm deployment uses adapter-node before prioritizing; other adapters not vulnerable.
