AC:H reflects the dual precondition of controlling both the '{}'-suffixed key name and a deeply nested value through the application's data flow; availability impact is limited to the affected request path with no C/I impact confirmed.

DescriptionCVE.org

axios before 0.33.0 contains an incomplete depth-limit bypass in toFormData.js when serializing objects with top-level keys ending in '{}'. Attackers who control object keys and nested values passed to axios form or parameter serialization can trigger a RangeError from JSON.stringify, causing denial of service in the affected request path.

AnalysisAI

Denial of service in the axios HTTP client library allows remote attackers to crash server-side request paths by exploiting an incomplete depth-limit bypass introduced as a residual flaw after the prior fix for GHSA-62hf-57xw-28j9. Affected are npm axios versions 0.31.1 through 0.32.x and 1.15.1 through 1.17.x; server-side Node.js applications that accept user-controlled input and pass it to axios form or parameter serialization are the primary concern. …

Attack ChainAIDerived

Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata

Access
Identify API endpoint routing user input to axios serialization
Delivery
Craft request with '{}'-suffixed top-level key and deeply nested value
Exploit
axios defaultVisitor() calls JSON.stringify before depth guard
Execution
RangeError: Maximum call stack size exceeded
Persist
Request handler crashes
Impact
Denial of service on affected path

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation All of the following conditions must hold simultaneously: (1) the target application passes user-controlled object data to axios as the data or params option for a multipart/form-data, application/x-www-form-urlencoded, or default parameter-serialized request; (2) the attacker can influence a top-level object key so that it ends in '{}'; and (3) the attacker can supply a sufficiently deeply nested object as the corresponding value. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The CVSS 4.0 score of 6.9 (AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:L) reflects a network-reachable, unauthenticated denial-of-service with limited availability impact. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario An attacker sends an HTTP POST to a Node.js API that accepts JSON body parameters and forwards them to a downstream service via axios using multipart/form-data encoding. The attacker includes a field with the key name 'config{}' and a deeply nested object as its value; when axios processes the request, defaultVisitor() calls JSON.stringify() on the nested payload before the depth guard runs, triggering RangeError: Maximum call stack size exceeded and crashing the request handler. …
Remediation Upgrade to axios 0.33.0 (for 0.x deployments) or axios 1.18.0 (for 1.x deployments); these releases contain the upstream fixes from GitHub PRs #11000 and #11001. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.
