Description
A flaw was found in Axios. A remote attacker can exploit this vulnerability by sending oversized streamed uploads. This occurs when the maxRedirects setting is configured to 0, which bypasses the maxBodyLength limit for stream request bodies. Consequently, the system will process the full oversized upload, potentially leading to a Denial of Service (DoS) by consuming excessive resources.
