GHSA-2gqq-gqf2-x968
undici vulnerable to response truncation via oversized chunked responses in the dump interceptor
Quick fix
GHSA-2gqq-gqf2-x968 — undici: upgrade to the fixed version with the command below.
npm install undici@7.29.1Details
### Impact
undici's `interceptors.dump()` reads and discards response bodies up to a configurable `maxSize`. When a response declares a `Content-Length` that exceeds `maxSize`, the request is aborted cleanly. When a response is sent chunked (no `Content-Length`) and its body exceeds `maxSize`, it is not aborted: the interceptor ends the response early once the accumulated size reaches `maxSize`, and continued delivery from the parser triggers an internal assertion that is caught and turned into a request abort and connection tear-down. The application observes a misleading `200` with an empty or truncated body while the connection is disconnected. Any application using the dump interceptor against untrusted or misbehaving upstreams is affected.
### Patches
Upgrade to `7.29.1` or `8.10.2`. The dump interceptor now enforces `maxSize` on both the declared and the received body size, aborting the request with a `RequestAbortedError` instead of returning a truncated response.
### Workarounds
None. Avoid using `interceptors.dump()` with untrusted upstreams until upgraded.
