Service interruption via unbounded payload logging
Published Feb 16, 2023 · Updated Mar 18, 2025
Denial of service in Palantir Gotham before 3.22.11.2 allows remote attackers to exhaust Dispatch memory through an unauthenticated endpoint. The endpoint logs arbitrarily large JSON objects without enforcing a payload-size limit, so repeated requests consume the Dispatch server's available memory. No authentication or user interaction is required; exhaustion can interrupt the core service that enforces access control, records logs, and coordinates database requests.

Exploitability
Present is not the same as exploitable
Compare your product and version with the public record. A matching version still requires validation against your environment.
Is a vulnerable build present?
Compare these published version ranges with your installed build and any vendor patches.
