Unknown · V-Server Lite · CVE-2022-25940
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
lite-server versions all
**Description**
The issue arises when an attacker sends an HTTP request that includes control characters, which the `decodeURI()` function is unable to parse, leading to a Denial of Service (DoS). This occurs when the `decodeURI()` function encounters characters it cannot process, resulting in the service becoming unavailable.
**Recommendations**
For all versions, consider disabling the `decodeURI()` function or restricting HTTP requests that include control characters until a patch is available. As a temporary workaround, restrict access to the HTTP endpoint to minimize the risk of exploitation. At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
