werkzeug is vulnerable to Denial of Service (DoS). An attacker is able to exploit this vulnerability by sending a multipart request to a vulnerable endpoint with a large number of parts. The multipart parser in Werkzeug would then allocate a large amount of memory to process the request, which could eventually exhaust the server’s resources and cause it to crash.
