Apostrophe before 2.97.1 is vulnerable to Denial of Service (DOS). The apostrophe-jobs module sets a callback for incoming jobs and doesn't clear it regardless of its status. This causes the server to accumulate callbacks, allowing an attacker to start a large number of jobs and exhaust system memory.
Affected Packages
apostrophe (NPM):
Affected version(s) >=0.3.3 <2.97.1
Fix Suggestion:
Update to version 2.97.1
