CVE-2024-24750 is a medium-severity uncontrolled resource consumption vulnerability in undici (npm), affecting versions >= 6.0.0, <= 6.6.0. It is fixed in 6.6.1.
Impact Calling fetch(url) and not consuming the incoming body ((or consuming it very slowing) will lead to a memory leak. Patches Patched in v6.6.1 Workarounds Make sure to always consume the incoming body.
Crafted input forces the application to consume excessive CPU, memory, or other resources, degrading or denying service. Typical impact: denial of service.
CVE-2024-24750 has a CVSS score of 6.5 (Medium). The vector is network-reachable, no privileges required, and user interaction required. A CVSS score reflects the worst-case severity of the vulnerability, not your specific exposure. Whether this affects your application depends on whether the vulnerable code is present and reachable in your environment.
A fixed version is available (6.6.1). Upgrading removes the vulnerable code path.
npm
undici (>= 6.0.0, <= 6.6.0)undici → 6.6.1 (npm)Severity tells you how bad this could be in the worst case. It does not tell you whether you are exposed. Exploitability and impact are functions of runtime truth: whether the vulnerable code is present, reachable, and actually executes in your application. A vulnerable package can sit in your dependency tree and never run.
Kodem, an Intelligent Application Security platform, uses runtime intelligence to reveal which vulnerabilities actually execute in production, so teams prioritize the ones that genuinely matter instead of chasing every advisory.
Kodem's runtime-powered SCA identifies whether CVE-2024-24750 is reachable in your applications. Explore open-source security for your team.

CVE-2024-24750 has a CVSS score of 6.5 (Medium). This score reflects the worst-case severity of the vulnerability, not your specific exposure. Whether it represents real risk in your environment depends on whether the vulnerable code is present and reachable.
undici (npm) versions >= 6.0.0, <= 6.6.0 is affected.
Yes. CVE-2024-24750 is fixed in 6.6.1. Upgrade to this version or later.
Whether CVE-2024-24750 is exploitable in your environment depends on whether the vulnerable code is present and reachable. A CVSS score is a worst-case rating; it does not account for your specific deployment, configuration, or usage patterns. Kodem, an Intelligent Application Security platform, uses runtime intelligence to show which vulnerabilities actually execute in production, so you can focus on the ones that represent real risk.

Exploitability and impact are not fixed properties of a CVE. They depend on runtime truth: whether the vulnerable code is present, reachable, and actually executes in your application. A high CVSS score on a dependency that never runs is not the same as real risk. Kodem, an Intelligent Application Security platform, uses runtime intelligence to reveal which vulnerabilities actually execute in production, so teams prioritize the ones that genuinely matter.
Upgrade undici to 6.6.1 or later.
