Title
Vikunja 1.0.0 before 2.7.1 Pagination Limit Bypass via page=0 Parameter
Summary
Vikunja from 1.0.0 before 2.7.1 contains an uncontrolled resource consumption vulnerability that allows authenticated users to bypass service.maxitemsperpage by sending page=0 to /api/v1 list endpoints. Attackers can self-register and repeatedly request page=0 to force unbounded SQL queries, memory materialisation, and per-row query fan-out, degrading availability for other users.

Title
Vikunja before 2.7.1 Memory Exhaustion DoS via Unbounded Image Decodes
Summary
Vikunja before 2.7.1 contains an uncontrolled resource consumption vulnerability that allows authenticated users to exhaust server memory through concurrent image decodes in avatar and background uploads. Attackers can send several parallel tiny, highly compressible PNGs decoded at up to 50 megapixels each, pushing the API process into memory pressure or an OOM kill.

CVE-2026-123356 (GCVE-0-2026-123356)

Vulnerability from cvelistv5 – Published: 2026-11-06 18:33 – Updated: 2026-11-09 22:44

Title
GROBID: Unauthenticated `/api/modelTraining` Endpoint Allows Unbounded Thread Pool Creation (DoS)
Summary
GROBID is machine learning software for extracting information from scholarly documents. Prior to 0.9.1, the unauthenticated /api/modelTraining endpoint calls GrobidRestProcessTraining.trainModel in GrobidRestProcessTraining.java, where each request creates Executors.newFixedThreadPool(1), submits a training task, and leaves the executor running. Repeated requests permanently retain JVM worker threads and can exhaust process or operating-system thread capacity, degrading or stopping request processing. This issue is fixed in version 0.9.1.

Title
Kyverno before 1.19.2 Denial of Service via Unbounded CEL Policy Evaluation Cost
Summary
Kyverno before 1.19.2 contains a denial of service vulnerability that allows namespace-scoped policy authors to exhaust CPU and memory by submitting CEL expressions evaluated without runtime cost limits. Attackers can create a NamespacedValidatingPolicy or NamespacedDeletingPolicy with nested map comprehensions over large ConfigMap fields to OOM-kill Kyverno pods and block cluster-wide admission.

Title
svg-sanitizer 0.11.0 before 1.1.0 Algorithmic Complexity DoS via use Reference Graph
Summary
svg-sanitizer from 0.11.0 before 1.1.0 contains an algorithmic complexity denial of service vulnerability in hasInfiniteLoop() and countUse() of the use reference-graph analysis. Attackers can upload a small layered SVG with 15 levels of fanned-out use elements, forcing exponential path enumeration that pins PHP workers for hours.

CVE-2026-121438 (GCVE-0-2026-121438)

Vulnerability from cvelistv5 – Published: 2026-11-03 14:28 – Updated: 2026-11-07 03:02

Title
Mistune before 3.3.3 Denial of Service via Balanced Bracket Link Parsing
Summary
Mistune before 3.3.3 contains a denial of service vulnerability in InlineParser.parse_link that allows attackers to cause quadratic CPU growth by supplying balanced nested brackets. Attackers can submit crafted Markdown with thousands of nested bracket pairs not forming a valid link, triggering repeated _contains_nested_link scans that exhaust CPU in parsing applications.

Title
FreeRDP before 3.32.2 Shadow Server CPU Exhaustion via Zero-Length DVC DATA
Summary
FreeRDP before 3.32.2 contains a denial of service vulnerability in the shadow server that allows authenticated RDP clients to spin server threads by sending zero-length drdynvc DATA PDUs. Attackers can send empty DATA messages on opened audin or rdpgfx channels, so that FreeRDP_WTSVirtualChannelRead never consumes them, consuming full CPU cores until disconnect.

Mitigation
Architecture and Design

Design throttling mechanisms into the system architecture. The best protection is to limit the amount of resources that an unauthorized user can cause to be expended. A strong authentication and access control model will help prevent such attacks from occurring in the first place. The login application should be protected against DoS attacks as much as possible. Limiting the database access, perhaps by caching result sets, can help minimize the resources expended. To further limit the potential for a DoS attack, consider tracking the rate of requests received from users and blocking requests that exceed a defined rate threshold.

Mitigation
Architecture and Design
  • Mitigation of resource exhaustion attacks requires that the target system either:
  • The first of these solutions is an issue in itself though, since it may allow attackers to prevent the use of the system by a particular valid user. If the attacker impersonates the valid user, they may be able to prevent the user from accessing the server in question.
  • The second solution is simply difficult to effectively institute -- and even when properly done, it does not provide a full solution. It simply makes the attack require more resources on the part of the attacker.
  • recognizes the attack and denies that user further access for a given amount of time, or
  • uniformly throttles all requests in order to make it more difficult to consume resources more quickly than they can again be freed.
Mitigation
Architecture and Design

Ensure that protocols have specific limits of scale placed on them.

Mitigation
Implementation

Ensure that all failures in resource allocation place the system into a safe posture.

CAPEC-147: XML Ping of the Death

An attacker initiates a resource depletion attack where a large number of small XML messages are delivered at a sufficiently rapid rate to cause a denial of service or crash of the target. Transactions such as repetitive SOAP transactions can deplete resources faster than a simple flooding attack because of the additional resources used by the SOAP protocol and the resources necessary to process SOAP messages. The transactions used are immaterial as long as they cause resource utilization on the target. In other words, this is a normal flooding attack augmented by using messages that will require extra processing on the target.

CAPEC-227: Sustained Client Engagement

An adversary attempts to deny legitimate users access to a resource by continually engaging a specific resource in an attempt to keep the resource tied up as long as possible. The adversary's primary goal is not to crash or flood the target, which would alert defenders; rather it is to repeatedly perform actions or abuse algorithmic flaws such that a given resource is tied up and not available to a legitimate user. By carefully crafting a requests that keep the resource engaged through what is seemingly benign requests, legitimate users are limited or completely denied access to the resource.

CAPEC-492: Regular Expression Exponential Blowup

An adversary may execute an attack on a program that uses a poor Regular Expression(Regex) implementation by choosing input that results in an extreme situation for the Regex. A typical extreme situation operates at exponential time compared to the input size. This is due to most implementations using a Nondeterministic Finite Automaton(NFA) state machine to be built by the Regex algorithm since NFA allows backtracking and thus more complex regular expressions.
