"It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the ALAS2023-2023-125 advisory.
- Werkzeug is a comprehensive WSGI web application library. Prior to version 2.2.3, Werkzeug's multipart
form data parser will parse an unlimited number of parts, including file parts. Parts can be a small
amount of bytes, but each requires CPU time to parse and may use more memory as Python data. If a request
can be made to an endpoint that accesses `request.data`, `request.form`, `request.files`, or
`request.get_data(parse_form_data=False)`, it can cause unexpectedly high resource usage. This allows an
attacker to cause a denial of service by sending crafted multipart data to an endpoint that will parse it.
The amount of CPU time required can block worker processes from handling legitimate requests. The amount
of RAM required can trigger an out of memory kill of the process. Unlimited file parts can use up memory
and file handles. If many concurrent requests are sent continuously, this can exhaust or kill all
available workers. Version 2.2.3 contains a patch for this issue. (CVE-2023-25577)
Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
