Description
webhook through 2.8.3 reads the entire request body into memory before evaluating trigger rules, allowing unauthenticated attackers to exhaust memory by sending oversized bodies. Attackers can send multi-gigabyte request bodies with invalid signatures to trigger out-of-memory conditions and crash the service.
