Open-source dependencyDetect
Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for sabre/dav, including transitive dependencies — a direct dependency you never call can still pull in a vulnerable version.
Fix
Update sabre/dav to 1.7.11 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms CVE-2014-2055 is resolved across your whole dependency graph.
Workarounds
Cap what an attacker can consume: apply request size, rate and timeout limits in front of the affected component, and run it with memory and CPU limits so exhaustion degrades one worker rather than the whole service.
