Detailed vulnerability description

The vulnerability allows a remote user to cause a denial of service.

The vulnerability exists due to allocation of resources without limits or throttling in the conversation import multer instance for the POST /api/convos/import endpoint when handling uploaded conversation import files. A remote user can upload an arbitrarily large file to cause a denial of service.

The application-level size check is disabled by default when the related environment variable is unset, and the uploaded file is written to disk before being fully read into memory and parsed.
