Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.

NVD · unedited
An issue was discovered in Iglu Server 0.13.0 and below. It involves sending very large payloads to a particular API endpoint of Iglu Server and can render it completely unresponsive. If the operation of Iglu Server is not restored, event processing in the pipeline would eventually halt.

Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.

dbcve analysis · moderate confidence

Iglu Server 0.13.0 and below contains a Denial of Service vulnerability where sending excessively large payloads to a specific API endpoint causes complete service unresponsiveness. This appears to be a resource exhaustion issue likely due to missing input validation or payload size limits on the affected endpoint.

MitigationImplement strict payload size limits and validation on the vulnerable API endpoint, along with appropriate timeout and resource consumption controls to prevent service exhaustion from large request payloads.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.

dbcve checks

Work through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.

  1. Determine Iglu Server version
    Check the running Iglu Server version by querying the /health or /info API endpoint, or check the package/docker image version if self-hosted
    Affected if Installed version is below 0.13.1 (any version 0.13.0 or lower)
  2. Identify API endpoint exposure
    Review the Iglu Server configuration to identify which API endpoints are exposed and accessible from untrusted networks
    Affected if The API endpoints are externally accessible without network restrictions
  3. Check for payload size limits
    Inspect Iglu Server configuration files (typically application.conf or application.yml) for any settings related to request body size limits, such as parsers, play.http.parser.maxDiskLength, or similar payload size configurations
    Affected if No explicit payload size limits are defined, or limits are set to excessively large values
  4. Verify input validation controls
    Check if there are any input validation or sanitization mechanisms in place for API request handling
    Affected if No input validation or size restrictions are configured on the API layer

A user is affected if they are running Iglu Server version 0.13.0 or below with exposed API endpoints and no configured payload size limits.

Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.

Upgrade available Upgrade to 0.13.1 or later
Fixed in 0.13.1
Interim mitigation

Implement strict payload size limits and validation on the vulnerable API endpoint, along with appropriate timeout and resource consumption controls to prevent service exhaustion from large request payloads.

Recommended fix High confidence

0.13.1

  1. Upgrade Iglu Server to version 0.13.1 or later
  2. Verify the upgrade was successful by checking the Iglu Server version
  3. Test that the API endpoints are responsive with normal payload sizes
  4. Monitor server resource usage to confirm the resource consumption issue is resolved
