Attacker requires only network access and a malformed POST; non-default server config is a deployment prerequisite, not attacker complexity; impact is availability-only (server crash).

SvelteKit (@sveltejs/kit) versions >=2.49.0 and <=2.52.1 with experimental remote functions (experimental.remoteFunctions) and form enabled contain a memory exhaustion vulnerability in remote form deserialization. Malformed form data can cause excessive memory allocation, crashing the server process and resulting in denial of service. Fixed in 2.52.2.
AnalysisAI
Memory exhaustion in @sveltejs/kit versions 2.49.0 through 2.52.1 allows unauthenticated remote attackers to crash the server process by sending malformed form data to a remote function endpoint, resulting in complete denial of service. Exploitation is gated behind two simultaneous non-default opt-in conditions - the experimental.remoteFunctions flag and form usage - which significantly narrows the real-world attack surface relative to the CVSS 4.0 score of 8.7. …

Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Exploitation requires the target application to be running @sveltejs/kit versions 2.49.0 through 2.52.1 AND to have experimental.remoteFunctions explicitly enabled in svelte.config.js AND to use the form integration in at least one route - all three conditions must hold simultaneously. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The CVSS 4.0 score of 8.7 (AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H) accurately reflects the trivial attacker effort required once a vulnerable endpoint is reachable - no authentication, no complexity, no user interaction. … 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 @sveltejs/kit to version 2.52.2 or later; this is the vendor-released patch confirmed by advisory GHSA-vrhm-gvg7-fpcf and fix commit f47c01bd8100328c24fdb8522fe35913b0735f35 (https://github.com/sveltejs/kit/commit/f47c01bd8100328c24fdb8522fe35913b0735f35). … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
