CVSS v4.0

High
| Vector | AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N |
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
hackney versions 2.0.0 through 4.0.0
Description
An issue in the URL parser within
src/hackney url.erl allows for resource exhaustion. The parser uses the binary to atom/2 function to convert unrecognized URL schemes into permanent BEAM atoms. Since BEAM atoms are not garbage-collected and the atom table has a hard limit of 1,048,576 entries, an attacker can exhaust this table by providing URLs with custom scheme prefixes. This can be achieved through request targets, configured webhook URLs, or Location headers during redirects, leading to a crash of the entire BEAM VM with a system limit error.Recommendations
Update to version 4.0.1.
