GHSA-HH3J-9M59-P8VC

In bentoml/bentoml version 1.3.9, the /login endpoint of the newly integrated Gradio app is vulnerable to a Denial of Service (DoS) attack. This vulnerability can be exploited by appending characters, such as dashes (-), to the end of a multipart boundary in an HTTP request. The server continuously processes each character, leading to excessive resource consumption and rendering the service unavailable. The issue is unauthenticated and does not require any user interaction.

Crafted input forces the application to consume excessive CPU, memory, or other resources, degrading or denying service. Typical impact: denial of service.

GHSA-HH3J-9M59-P8VC has a CVSS score of 7.5 (High). The vector is network-reachable, no privileges required, and no user interaction. 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. No fixed version is listed yet, so configuration controls and monitoring matter more in the interim.

1. What is GHSA-HH3J-9M59-P8VC? GHSA-HH3J-9M59-P8VC is a high-severity uncontrolled resource consumption vulnerability in bentoml (pip), affecting versions <= 1.3.9. No fixed version is listed yet. Crafted input forces the application to consume excessive CPU, memory, or other resources, degrading or denying service.
2. How severe is GHSA-HH3J-9M59-P8VC? GHSA-HH3J-9M59-P8VC has a CVSS score of 7.5 (High). 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.
3. Which versions of bentoml are affected by GHSA-HH3J-9M59-P8VC? bentoml (pip) versions <= 1.3.9 is affected.
4. Is there a fix for GHSA-HH3J-9M59-P8VC? No fixed version is listed for GHSA-HH3J-9M59-P8VC yet. Monitor the advisory for updates and apply mitigations in the interim.
5. Is GHSA-HH3J-9M59-P8VC exploitable, and should I be worried? Whether GHSA-HH3J-9M59-P8VC 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.

6. What actually determines whether GHSA-HH3J-9M59-P8VC is exploitable, and how bad it is? 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.
7. How do I fix GHSA-HH3J-9M59-P8VC? No fixed version is listed yet. In the interim: Apply input size limits and request rate limiting. Reject input that exceeds reasonable bounds before processing begins.
