Duplicate Advisory

This advisory has been withdrawn because it is a duplicate of GHSA-42h9-826w-cgv3. This link is maintained to preserve external references.

Original Description

axios versions 0.28.0 and later contain uncontrolled recursion in formDataToJSON when processing FormData field names with deeply nested bracket segments. Attackers can supply FormData with field names containing thousands of nested brackets to exhaust the JavaScript call stack and trigger RangeError, causing request failure or process termination in applications that do not handle the exception.

🎯 Affected products1

  • npm/axios:>= 1.0.0, < 1.18.0
