Unauthenticated denial of service via oversized password hashing
Published May 16, 2024 · Updated Feb 13, 2025
Uncontrolled resource consumption in FlyFish 3.0.0 allows remote attackers to interrupt the service via an oversized login password. BaseUserController accepts the unbounded password value and performs MD5 hashing, driving CPU and memory consumption as input length grows. The unauthenticated login endpoint is sufficient to make the server progressively unresponsive and ultimately crash, with no reported confidentiality or integrity impact.
