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 in the /api/v0/pastes endpoint of anna-is-cute paste v0.1.1 allows attackers to cause a Denial of Service (DoS) via a crafted POST request.

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

A Denial of Service vulnerability exists in the /api/v0/pastes endpoint of anna-is-cute paste v0.1.1. Attackers can cause service disruption by sending a crafted POST request to this API endpoint.

MitigationImplement input validation and request rate limiting on the /api/v0/pastes endpoint; also apply any available vendor patch for anna-is-cute paste v0.1.1.

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 installed version of anna-is-cute paste
    Check the application version by reviewing package.json, version file, or running 'anna-is-cute --version' or similar version command if available
    Affected if Version is v0.1.1 exactly or falls within the v0.1.1 release line
  2. Verify /api/v0/pastes endpoint is accessible
    Attempt to reach the endpoint via curl http://<host>:<port>/api/v0/pastes or check service configuration for exposed API routes
    Affected if Endpoint returns a valid HTTP response (200, 400, 405, etc.) indicating it is exposed and functional
  3. Confirm POST method is enabled on the endpoint
    Send a POST request to /api/v0/pastes (curl -X POST http://<host>:<port>/api/v0/pastes) and verify the method is allowed
    Affected if POST requests are accepted and processed by the endpoint
  4. Check if service is running without rate limiting or input validation
    Review service configuration files or test the endpoint behavior with varied input to infer whether rate limiting or input validation is active on /api/v0/pastes
    Affected if No rate limiting or input validation is configured for this endpoint

If running anna-is-cute paste v0.1.1 with the /api/v0/pastes endpoint exposed and accepting POST requests, the environment is affected by this CVE.
