CVE-2026-8162 (GCVE-0-2026-8162)

Vulnerability from cvelistv5 – Published: 2026-05-12 09:05 – Updated: 2026-05-12 12:33

Title
multiparty vulnerable to Denial of Service via Uncaught Exception in filename* parameter parsing
Summary
multiparty@4.2.3 and lower versions are vulnerable to denial of service via uncaught exception. By sending a multipart/form-data request with a Content-Disposition header whose filename* parameter contains a malformed percent-encoding, the parser invokes decodeURI on the value without try/catch. The resulting URIError propagates as an uncaught exception and crashes the process. Impact: any service accepting multipart uploads via multiparty is affected. Workarounds: none. Upgrade to multiparty@4.3.0 or higher.
