{"id":"CVE-2023-49800","aliases":["GHSA-q6hx-3m4p-749h"],"url":"https://o3.security/vulnerability/CVE-2023-49800","summary":"Denial of service by abusing `fetchOptions.retry` in nuxt-api-party","details":"`nuxt-api-party` is an open source module to proxy API requests. The library allows the user to send many options directly to `ofetch`. There is no filter on which options are available. We can abuse the retry logic to cause the server to crash from a stack overflow. fetchOptions are obtained directly from the request body. A malicious user can construct a URL known  to not fetch successfully, then set the retry attempts to a high value, this will cause a stack overflow as ofetch error handling works recursively resulting in a denial of service. This issue has been addressed in version 0.22.1. Users are advised to upgrade. Users unable to upgrade should limit ofetch options.","published":"2023-12-08T23:41:55.206Z","modified":"2026-08-12T03:51:17.227114203Z","cvss":{"score":7.5,"severity":"HIGH","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H"},"epss":null,"cisaKev":null,"exploitsKnown":1,"affectedPackages":[{"ecosystem":"npm","name":"nuxt-api-party","fixedVersion":"0.22.1"}],"fix":null,"references":[{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://github.com/CVEProject/cvelistV5/tree/main/cves/2023/49xxx/CVE-2023-49800.json"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://github.com/johannschopplich/nuxt-api-party/security/advisories/GHSA-q6hx-3m4p-749h"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2023-49800"}],"provenance":{"sources":["OSV.dev","FIRST.org (EPSS)"],"lastVerified":"2026-08-12T03:51:17.227114203Z"}}
