Summary
Duplicate Advisory: Axios form serializer maxDepth bypass via {} metatoken
Details

Duplicate Advisory

This advisory has been withdrawn because it is a duplicate of GHSA-hcpx-6fm6-wx23. This link is maintained to preserve external references.

Original Description

axios before 0.33.0 contains an incomplete depth-limit bypass in toFormData.js when serializing objects with top-level keys ending in '{}'. Attackers who control object keys and nested values passed to axios form or parameter serialization can trigger a RangeError from JSON.stringify, causing denial of service in the affected request path.
