Severity ?
2.6 (Low) - CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:L/UI:R/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:L
CWE
  • CWE-20 - Improper Input Validation
  • CWE-770 - Allocation of Resources Without Limits or Throttling
Summary
node-fetch before versions 2.6.1 and 3.0.0-beta.9 did not honor the size option after following a redirect, which means that when a content size was over the limit, a FetchError would never get thrown and the process would end without failure. For most people, this fix will have a little or no impact. However, if you are relying on node-fetch to gate files above a size, the impact could be significant, for example: If you don't double-check the size of the data after fetch() has completed, your JS thread could get tied up doing work on a large file (DoS) and/or cost you money in computing.
