In a ZIP bomb attack, the HTTP server replies with a compressed response that becomes several magnitudes larger once uncompressed. If a client does not take special care when processing such responses, it may result in excessive CPU and/or memory consumption. An attacker might exploit such a weakness for a DoS attack. To exploit this the attacker must control the location (URL) that superagent makes a request to." } ] }, "problemtype": { "problemtype_data": [ { "description": [ { "lang": "eng", "value": "Improper Handling of Highly Compressed Data (Data Amplification) (CWE-409)" } ] } ] }, "references": { "reference_data": [ { "name": "https://nodesecurity.io/advisories/479", "refsource": "MISC", "url": "https://nodesecurity.io/advisories/479" }, { "name": "https://github.com/visionmedia/superagent/issues/1259", "refsource": "MISC", "url": "https://github.com/visionmedia/superagent/issues/1259" } ] } }
