DescriptionCVE.org

Allocation of Resources Without Limits or Throttling vulnerability in ash-project ash_authentication_oauth2_server allows an unauthenticated attacker to exhaust database storage and memory.

The /authorize endpoint is unauthenticated by design. With Client ID Metadata Documents enabled, resolve_client/3 in AshAuthentication.Oauth2Server.CIMD fetches the document for each new URL-shaped client_id and upserts a client row, with no cap on the number of rows, no expiry or garbage collection, and no length bound on the fetched fields; the document was also placed in CIMD.Cache before validation, so even rejected documents held cache memory until their TTL. An attacker serving valid documents at many distinct URLs creates one permanent client row per URL, each able to carry multi-megabyte strings, growing storage and memory without bound.

This issue affects ash_authentication_oauth2_server: from 0.3.0 before 0.3.1.

AnalysisAI

Unauthenticated resource exhaustion in ash_authentication_oauth2_server 0.3.0 enables any remote attacker to grow database storage and heap memory without bound when the Client ID Metadata Document (CIMD) feature is enabled. The /authorize endpoint's resolve_client/3 function fetches and permanently upserts one database row per distinct URL-shaped client_id, with no row cap, no TTL-based expiry, and no field-length limit; additionally, fetched documents enter CIMD.Cache before validation, meaning even rejected documents consume cache memory until their TTL expires. …
