Description

Versions of the package pdfmake from 0.3.0-beta.1 and before 0.3.0-beta.17 are vulnerable to Allocation of Resources Without Limits or Throttling via repeatedly redirect URL in file embedding. An attacker can cause the application to crash or become unresponsive by providing crafted input that triggers this condition.

Detection & mitigation playbook

Open-source dependency

  1. Detect

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

  2. Fix

    Update pdfmake to 0.3.0-beta.17 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-rj3r-r7hh-jxfq 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.
