## Impacted Resources bref/src/Event/Http/Psr7Bridge.php:94-125 multipart-parser/src/StreamedPart.php:383-418 ## Description When Bref is used with the Event-Driven Function runtime and the handler is a `RequestHandlerInterface`, then the Lambda event is converted to a PSR7 object. During the conversion process, if the request is a MultiPart, each part is parsed. In the parsing process, the `Content-Type` header of each part is read using the `Riverline/multipart-parser` library. The library, in the `StreamedPart::parseHeaderContent` function, performs slow multi-byte string operations on the header value. Precisely, the `mb_convert_encoding` function is used with the first (`$string`) and third (`$from_encoding`) parameters read from the header value. ## Impact An attacker could send specifically crafted requests which would force the server into performing long operations with a consequent long billed duration. The attack has the following requirements and limitations: - The Lambda should use the Event-Driven Function runtime. - The Lambda should use the `Req

- investigate
Identify the exact component and deployed version, examine the linked publisher’s conditions, and retain evidence of any mitigation.

A fixed release is not deployment evidence.
Check current vendor support and compatibility. After making a change, verify the deployed build and relevant runtime conditions. Keep the evidence, owner and time. An updated lockfile alone does not prove what is running.
