CVE-2022-29617Network attack vector

Authenticated service shutdown via unawaited webhook removal

Published Jun 6, 2022 · Updated Aug 3, 2024

Improper error handling in SAP SE CLA Assistant before 2.13.0 allows remote authenticated users to crash a self-hosted instance. During webhook removal, a missing await lets a rejected promise escape the surrounding try/catch, and Node.js 16 terminates on the unhandled rejection. Triggering it requires an authenticated user and a failed webhook deletion; the hosted cla-assistant.io service automatically restarted and was not affected.
