Doc Text:
A flaw was found in axios. This vulnerability allows a remote attacker to bypass configured upload size limits by supplying unknown-length stream data when using WHATWG ReadableStream request bodies in the fetch adapter, specifically when the Content-Length cannot be determined. This can lead to uncontrolled network egress or resource exhaustion, resulting in a Denial of Service (DoS) for the affected system.

Description OSIDB Bzimport 2026-08-01 13:04:15 UTC
axios versions 1.7.0 before 1.18.0 fail to enforce maxBodyLength for WHATWG ReadableStream request bodies in the fetch adapter when Content-Length cannot be determined. Attackers can supply unknown-length stream data to bypass upload size limits and cause uncontrolled network egress or resource exhaustion.
