Описание
Undici has Unbounded Memory Consumption in its DeduplicationHandler via Response Buffering that leads to DoS
Impact
This is an uncontrolled resource consumption vulnerability (CWE-400) that can lead to Denial of Service (DoS).
In vulnerable Undici versions, when interceptors.deduplicate() is enabled, response data for deduplicated requests could be accumulated in memory for downstream handlers. An attacker-controlled or untrusted upstream endpoint can exploit this with large/chunked responses and concurrent identical requests, causing high memory usage and potential OOM process termination.
Impacted users are applications that use Undici’s deduplication interceptor against endpoints that may produce large or long-lived response bodies.
Patches
The issue has been patched by changing deduplication behavior to stream response chunks to downstream handlers as they arrive (instead of full-body accumulation), and by preventing late deduplication when body streaming has already started.
Users should upgrade to the first official Undici (and Node.js, where applicable) releases that include this patch.
Workarounds
If upgrading immediately is not possible:
- Disable
interceptors.deduplicate()for affected clients/routes. - Use
skipHeaderNameswith a marker header to force high-risk requests to bypass deduplication. - Avoid concurrent identical requests to untrusted endpoints that may return very large/chunked bodies.
- Apply upstream/proxy response-size and timeout limits.

A flaw was found in Undici. When the `interceptors.deduplicate()` feature is enabled, response data for deduplicated requests can accumulate in memory. A remote attacker, by sending large or chunked responses and concurrent identical requests from an untrusted endpoint, can exploit this uncontrolled resource consumption. This leads to high memory usage and potential Out-Of-Memory (OOM) process termination, resulting in a Denial of Service (DoS) for the application.
