Multer vulnerable to Denial of Service via deeply nested field names

Advisory ansehen veröffentlicht 2026-06-17Lizenz: CC-BY-4.0

### Impact Multer is vulnerable to a Denial of Service (DoS) via deeply nested field names in multipart form data. The `append-field` dependency parses bracket notation in field names (e.g., `a[b][c]`) with no limit on nesting depth, allowing an attacker to force allocation of deeply nested object structures that consume CPU and memory. A single HTTP request with a crafted multipart body is sufficient to exploit this. ### Patches Users should upgrade to `2.2.0` and configure `limits.fieldNestingDepth` to the minimum depth their application requires. ### Workarounds Set `limits.fields` to a reasonable value to reduce the number of fields an attacker can send per request. This does not fully mitigate the issue but limits the impact.
