CVE-2019-25613 — Echatserver Easy Chat Server security vulnerability

High CVSS 8.7

Easy Chat Server 3.1 contains a denial of service vulnerability that allows remote attackers to crash the application by sending oversized data in the message parameter. Attackers can establish a session via the chat.ghp endpoint and then send a POST request to body2.ghp with an excessively large message parameter value to cause the service to crash.

Matched remediation archetype

Resource exhaustion and denial of service

This catalog composition supplies bounded fallback guidance. Explicitly reviewed curated workflows load with the complete record below.

Check exposure

  • Identify attacker-influenced work factors including input size, nesting, compression, fan-out, regex cost, allocation, recursion, retries, and connection lifetime.
  • Map per-request and shared CPU, memory, disk, descriptor, thread, queue, and downstream-service limits.
  • Determine whether authentication, tenancy, quotas, and rate controls apply before expensive processing begins.

Remediate safely

  • Bound input size, nesting, expansion, work, concurrency, queue depth, retries, and execution time before resource-intensive processing.
  • Release resources on every success, error, cancellation, and timeout path and use backpressure instead of unbounded buffering.
  • Update affected components and add small deterministic tests that assert resource ceilings rather than exhausting a host.
