A GitHub-reviewed security advisory, not necessarily under active exploitation the way our CISA KEV advisories are, but a real, disclosed vulnerability in an open-source dependency.
Affected packages
Vulnerable: < 1.4.29
Patched in 1.4.29
Details
Elysia v1.4.28 is vulnerable to denial-of-service attacks due to CPU exhaustion in the form data normalization code.
Elysia uses getAll to retrieve value from FormData. It is called directly relative to the total number of key-value pairs in the form data. The total amount of work the for loop has to do grows quadratically, so doubling the number of unique key-value pairs quadruples the amount of work. In the above PoC, each .getAll call scans through all of the n key-value pairs in the form data. Because there are n unique keys in the form data, there are .getAll calls, so in total the form data normalizer has to scan n x n key-value pairs.

EPSS, exploit probability
Low0.63%
estimated chance of real-world exploitation in the next 30 days, higher than 50.4% of every CVE FIRST.org scores
Refreshed 11/8/2026, via FIRST.org's EPSS model, not CVSS, this measures likelihood of exploitation, not how severe it would be.
