Summary
Duplicate Advisory: Axios: Fetch adapter `ReadableStream` uploads bypass `maxBodyLength`
Details

Duplicate Advisory

This advisory has been withdrawn because it is a duplicate of GHSA-jqh4-m9w3-8hp9. This link is maintained to preserve external references.

Original Description

axios versions 1.7.0 before 1.18.0 fail to enforce maxBodyLength for WHATWG ReadableStream request bodies in the fetch adapter when Content-Length cannot be determined. Attackers can supply unknown-length stream data to bypass upload size limits and cause uncontrolled network egress or resource exhaustion.
