    multiparty vulnerable to ReDoS via filename parsing

    CVE-2026-8159 · GHSA-65x3-rw7q-gx94

    Affected
    • npm multiparty <= 4.2.3
    Fixed in
    4.3.0· Vendor fix available
    Issue
    Impact multiparty@4.2.3 and lower versions are vulnerable to denial of service via regular expression backtracking in the Content-Disposition filename parameter parser. A multipart upload with a long header value containing !filename="1 repeated can cause regex matching to take seconds, blocking the event loop. Any service accepting multipart uploads via multiparty is affected. Patches Users should upgrade to multiparty@4.3.0 or higher. Workarounds None. Limiting upload sizes at the proxy/gateway layer reduces but does not eliminate the attack surface, since a small ~8 KB header is sufficient to trigger the vulnerable backtracking. Resources - OWASP: Regular expression Denial of Service (ReDoS)

    Recommended action: Upgrade to 4.3.0 or later, then redeploy and verify.A vendor fix does not resolve your finding until you verify it in your own systems.

    multiparty vulnerable to Denial of Service via Uncaught Exception in filename* parameter parsing

    CVE-2026-8162 · GHSA-xh3c-6gcq-g4rv

    Affected
    • npm multiparty <= 4.2.3
    Fixed in
    4.3.0· Vendor fix available
    Issue
    Impact multiparty@4.2.3 and lower versions are vulnerable to denial of service via uncaught exception. By sending a multipart/form-data request with a Content-Disposition: filename=utf-8'' header containing a malformed percent-encoding (e.g., %FF, %GG), the parser invokes decodeURI on the value without try/catch. The resulting URIError propagates as an uncaught exception and crashes the process. Any service accepting multipart uploads via multiparty is affected. Patches Users should upgrade to multiparty@4.3.0 or higher. Workarounds None.

    Recommended action: Upgrade to 4.3.0 or later, then redeploy and verify.A vendor fix does not resolve your finding until you verify it in your own systems.

    multiparty: Denial of Service via Prototype Pollution leads to Uncaught Exception

    CVE-2026-8161 · GHSA-qxch-whhj-8956

    Affected
    • npm multiparty <= 4.2.3
    Fixed in
    4.3.0· Vendor fix available
    Issue
    Impact multiparty@4.2.3 and lower versions are vulnerable to denial of service via uncaught exception. By sending a multipart/form-data request with a field name that collides with an inherited Object.prototype property (e.g., proto, constructor, toString), the parser invokes .push() on the inherited prototype value rather than an array, throwing a TypeError that propagates as an uncaught exception and crashes the process. Any service accepting multipart uploads via multiparty is affected. Patches Users should upgrade to multiparty@4.3.0 or higher. Workarounds None.

    Recommended action: Upgrade to 4.3.0 or later, then redeploy and verify.A vendor fix does not resolve your finding until you verify it in your own systems.
