DescriptionCVE.org

stoatchat before 0.15.0 fails to validate SVG viewBox dimensions in the proxy endpoint, allowing attackers to cause denial of service by memory exhaustion. Attackers can host malicious SVGs with extremely large width and height values and trigger concurrent requests to exhaust available memory across proxy replicas.

AnalysisAI

Memory exhaustion denial of service in stoatchat before 0.15.0 allows unauthenticated remote attackers to crash the service by submitting concurrent proxy requests referencing attacker-hosted SVGs with arbitrarily large viewBox width and height values. The proxy endpoint allocates memory proportional to declared SVG dimensions without enforcing any upper bound (CWE-400), and concurrent exploitation amplifies impact across all running replicas simultaneously. …

Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata

Access
Host malicious SVG with extreme viewBox dimensions

Execution
Concurrent allocations accumulate without bounds across replicas
Persist
Memory exhausted
Impact
Service crash and denial of service

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation The stoatchat proxy endpoint must be network-accessible to the attacker, which the CVSS 4.0 vector (AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N) confirms requires no authentication, no special configuration beyond a default deployment, and no user interaction. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The CVSS 4.0 vector (AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N) places this firmly as a remotely exploitable, zero-complexity, no-privilege denial-of-service: the highest tier of DoS risk in terms of reachability and ease. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario An unauthenticated attacker hosts an SVG file on a public server with viewBox dimensions set to near-integer-maximum values (e.g., width='2000000000' height='2000000000'). The attacker then scripts a tool to issue hundreds of simultaneous HTTP requests to the stoatchat proxy endpoint referencing this SVG URL, causing each replica to allocate memory proportional to the declared dimensions per request. …
Remediation Upgrade stoatchat to version 0.15.0 or later, which introduces dimension validation in the SVG proxy endpoint; this is the primary and recommended fix per the GitHub security advisory at https://github.com/stoatchat/stoatchat/security/advisories/GHSA-x87r-h3mq-7mgr. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.

Recommended ActionAI

Within 24 hours, inventory all stoatchat deployments and identify versions currently in use to determine exposure scope. …
