CVE-2024-38826 — Authenticated users can upload specifically crafted files to leak server resources
Authenticated users can upload specifically crafted files to leak server resources. This behavior can potentially be used to run a denial of service attack against Cloud Controller. The Cloud Foundry project recommends upgrading the following releases: * Upgrade capi release version to 1.194.0 or greater * Upgrade cf-deployment version to v44.1.0 or greater. This includes a patched capi release

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.
