Unauthenticated service crash via unbounded request buffering
Published Sep 2, 2026 · Updated Sep 3, 2026
Uncontrolled memory allocation in Sigoden AIChat 0.30.0 through 0.30.4 allows remote attackers to crash its HTTP server. Four POST handlers in src/serve.rs collect each complete request body into memory before JSON parsing without enforcing a byte limit. Serve mode accepts these requests without API authentication, so one oversized body can exhaust process memory and interrupt model, embedding, rerank, and RAG APIs.
