CVE-2023-54404
validatedZero produced an exploit or a check.GHSA-mrhx-c7xc-m3w5 ↗EUVD-2023-60702 ↗
description
Zod through 4.6.5 can consume excessive memory when an application validates attacker-controlled large arrays against array schemas without length constraints. An attacker may cause the application process to run out of memory by submitting such input; exposure requires a reachable validation path that accepts unbounded arrays.
mitigation
Apply maximum-length constraints to array schemas that process untrusted input, and enforce request-body and input-size limits before validation. Limit public access to endpoints accepting large arrays until a confirmed fixed Zod release can be deployed.
outcome
Contextual check: a technique exists and was validated, but no deterministic check could cover this one.
source signals
Public signals that triggered or updated the pipeline. These are inputs for the deltas above.
