2.52.2- Upgrade @sveltejs/kit to this version or later
Description
Versions of @sveltejs/kit prior to 2.52.2 with remote functions enabled are vulnerable to CPU exhaustion. Malformed form data can cause the server to become unresponsive while processing a request, resulting in denial of service.
Only applications using both experimental.remoteFunctions and form are vulnerable.
Affected versions
npm
| Package | Vulnerable | Fixed in |
|---|---|---|
| @sveltejs/kit | >= 2.49.0, < 2.52.2 |
2.52.2 |
How to fix
Move to the fixed version or later with your package manager, update the lockfile, and run your tests. If the package only arrives through another dependency, upgrade that dependency first. If none of its releases pulls a fixed version yet, force the version with your package manager's override.
@sveltejs/kit npm → 2.52.2
- npm
npm install @sveltejs/kit@2.52.2- yarn
yarn add @sveltejs/kit@2.52.2- pnpm
pnpm add @sveltejs/kit@2.52.2
