@steipete/summarize is Vulnerable to Disk Exhaustion via Crafted Media Responses
Quick fix
GHSA-q9xm-f36c-xm3q — @steipete/summarize-core: upgrade to the fixed version with the command below.
npm install @steipete/summarize-core@0.17.0Details
Summarize before 0.17.0 contains a resource exhaustion vulnerability that allows remote attackers to cause disk exhaustion by serving media responses that bypass the enforced size limit through missing or misreported Content-Length headers, chunked transfer encoding, or failed HEAD requests. Attackers who control a podcast feed or media URL can stream an unbounded response to local storage via the temp-file download path, exhausting disk or system resources on the host running the CLI.
