Axios DoS via lack of data size check
CVE: CVE-2025-58754
Component: axios
CWE: CWE-770
Severity: Moderate
CVSS v3: 5.3/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:L
Release date: 2025-09-12T01:16:40.513000+00:00

A denial of service flaw has been discovered in the Axios npm package. When Axios runs on Node.js and is given a URL with the `data:` scheme, it does not perform HTTP. Instead, its Node http adapter decodes the entire payload into memory (`Buffer`/`Blob`) and returns a synthetic 200 response.
This path ignores `maxContentLength` / `maxBodyLength` (which only protect HTTP responses), so an attacker can supply a very large `data:` URI and cause the process to allocate unbounded memory and crash (DoS), even if the caller requested responseType: 'stream'.

Statement: Availability impact is limited to the application which bundles axios and not the host Red Hat system.
