Denial of Service in mem
GHSA-4xcv-9jjx-gfj3
- Affected
- npm mem < 4.0.0
- Fixed in
- 4.0.0· Vendor fix available
- Issue
- Versions of mem prior to 4.0.0 are vulnerable to Denial of Service (DoS). The package fails to remove old values from the cache even after a value passes its maxAge property. This may allow attackers to exhaust the system's memory if they are able to abuse the application logging. Recommendation Upgrade to version 4.0.0 or later.
Recommended action: Upgrade to 4.0.0 or later, then redeploy and verify.A vendor fix does not resolve your finding until you verify it in your own systems.
