Vulnerability details

The vulnerability allows a local user to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to Incorrect Control Flow Scoping in promise resolving when AbortSignal option is used. The Promise remains in a permanently pending state after the signal is aborted, causing any await or .then() usage to hang indefinitely. A local user can trigger the vulnerability to cause a control-flow leak that can lead to stalled requests, blocked workers, or degraded application availability.
