Detection & mitigation playbook

Open-source dependency

  1. Detect

    Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for tkvideoplayer, including transitive dependencies — a direct dependency you never call can still pull in a vulnerable version.

  2. Fix

    Update tkvideoplayer to 2.0.0 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms CVE-2022-24902 is resolved across your whole dependency graph.

  3. 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.

Frequently Asked Questions

Huge memory consumption even when playing small files. This issue has been patched in 2.0.0. Please upgrade to version 2.0.0 or above.
