GHSA-rvv3-g6hj-g44x: AutoMapper Vulnerable to Denial of Service (DoS) via Uncontrolled Recursion
(updated )
AutoMapper is vulnerable to a Denial of Service (DoS) attack. When mapping deeply nested object graphs, the library uses recursive method calls without enforcing a default maximum depth limit. This allows an attacker to provide a specially crafted object graph that exhausts the thread’s stack memory, triggering a StackOverflowException and causing the entire application process to terminate.
