Description Rohit Keshri 2023-12-15 11:58:36 UTC 
Amount of attributes per object (users, groups, roles)) are not limited and the impact is

* The application can not accept too large amount of attributes
* The application is struggling to serve the content of the attribute later for one item
* The application fails to serve a list of items when attribute values are included in the list
* It is possible to cause a denial of service when hammering the list endpoint that serves many rows with long attribute values
