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
Foundry Artifacts was found to be vulnerable to a Denial Of Service attack due to disk being potentially filled up based on an user supplied argument (size).

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

Foundry Artifacts is vulnerable to a Denial of Service attack where an attacker can fill up the disk by specifying a large size argument in a user-supplied request. This allows uncontrolled disk space consumption leading to service unavailability.

MitigationImplement strict validation and upper bounds on the user-supplied size parameter, combined with disk usage monitoring and quota enforcement to prevent unbounded disk writes.

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. Identify Foundry Artifacts installation
    Search for Foundry Artifacts processes or services running on the system (e.g., ps aux | grep -i foundry, check for foundry-related services)
    Affected if Foundry Artifacts is running on the system
  2. Determine Foundry Artifacts version
    Check the installed version of Foundry Artifacts (e.g., foundry --version, check package.json, or consult the application's about/version page)
    Affected if The installed version matches any affected release of Foundry Artifacts (compare against vendor advisory)
  3. Verify network accessibility of artifact endpoints
    Check if the artifact upload/upload-size API endpoints are exposed to untrusted users (review firewall rules, reverse proxy config, and network ACLs)
    Affected if The artifact upload functionality is accessible from untrusted networks or users
  4. Inspect size parameter validation
    Review application configuration files and source code for validation on user-supplied size parameters in artifact upload requests (look for maxSize, limit, or validation logic)
    Affected if No upper bound or strict validation exists on the size parameter in upload requests
  5. Check disk usage monitoring
    Review system monitoring and alerting configuration for disk space (e.g., check if quotas, usage alerts, or write limits are configured for the artifact storage directory)
    Affected if No disk quota, usage monitoring, or write limits are configured for the artifact storage location

The environment is affected if Foundry Artifacts is running with an exposed upload endpoint that lacks strict validation on user-supplied size parameters and has no disk usage controls.

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.
