Description

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform DoS attack on the target system.

The vulnerability exists due to improper stream handling. When the HTTP request stream emits an error, the internal `busboy` stream is not closed, violating Node.js stream safety guidance. A remote attacker can force the application to leak memory and perform denial of service attack.
