GHSA-6fcr-9h9g-23fq
- Affected
- npm ipfs-bitswap < 0.24.1
- Fixed in
- 0.24.1· Vendor fix available
- Issue
- Versions of ipfs-bitswap prior to 0.24.1 are vulnerable to Denial of Service (DoS). The package put unwanted blocks in the blockstore, which could be used to exhaust system resources in specific conditions. Recommendation Upgrade to version 0.24.1 or later.
Recommended action: Upgrade to 0.24.1 or later, then redeploy and verify.A vendor fix does not resolve your finding until you verify it in your own systems.
