DescriptionCVE.org

SvelteKit versions from 2.49.0 through 2.53.2 (fixed in 2.53.3) contain a deserialization expansion issue in the experimental form remote function. When an application enables experimental.remoteFunctions and uses the form function to process the files array without validating files.length or individual file sizes, an attacker can submit relatively small inputs that expand into very large file arrays, leading to expensive processing and denial of service.

AnalysisAI

Denial of service in SvelteKit versions 2.49.0 through 2.53.2 is achievable by unauthenticated remote attackers who submit crafted multipart form requests that exploit a deserialization expansion flaw in the experimental form remote function, causing the server to construct disproportionately large files arrays and exhaust processing resources. Exploitation is gated behind a non-default opt-in flag (experimental.remoteFunctions: true) and requires the application to process the files array without length or size validation, substantially narrowing real-world exposure despite the CVSS 4.0 score of 8.7. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Exploitation requires all three of the following conditions simultaneously: (1) the SvelteKit application must have `experimental.remoteFunctions: true` explicitly set in its configuration - this is a non-default, developer opt-in experimental flag not present in standard SvelteKit installations; (2) the application must expose at least one `form` remote function handler that accesses the `files` array from incoming multipart submissions; and (3) the handler must perform expensive operations on `files` entries without first validating `files.length` or individual file sizes. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The CVSS 4.0 score of 8.7 with AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N reflects a genuinely low-friction, unauthenticated network attack with high availability impact - a strong severity signal on paper. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario Full exploit scenario with step-by-step reproduction available after sign-in.
Remediation Upgrade to SvelteKit version 2.53.3 or later, which resolves the issue via upstream commit faba869db3644077169bf5d7c6e41fd5f3d6c65e; the vendor advisory is at https://github.com/sveltejs/kit/security/advisories/GHSA-fpg4-jhqr-589c. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.

Recommended ActionAI

Within 24 hours, identify all SvelteKit deployments and determine whether experimental.remoteFunctions: true is enabled in configuration; this flag is required for the vulnerability to be exploitable. …
