Official description

A Denial of Service (DoS) vulnerability exists in the brycedrennan/imaginairy repository, version 15.0.0. The vulnerability is present in the `/api/stablestudio/generate` endpoint, which can be exploited by sending an invalid request. This causes the server process to terminate abruptly, outputting `KILLED` in the terminal, and results in the unavailability of the server. This issue disrupts the server's functionality, affecting all users.

The underlying weakness: Uncontrolled Resource Consumption

The product does not properly control the allocation and maintenance of a limited resource.

How developers prevent this class of flaw

  • Ensure that protocols have specific limits of scale placed on them.
  • Ensure that all failures in resource allocation place the system into a safe posture.
