CVE-2022-31006 – Hyperledger Indy DOS vulnerability

https://notcve.org/view.php?id=CVE-2022-31006

indy-node is the server portion of Hyperledger Indy, a distributed ledger purpose-built for decentralized identity. In vulnerable versions of indy-node, an attacker can max out the number of client connections allowed by the ledger, leaving the ledger unable to be used for its intended purpose. However, the ledger content will not be impacted and the ledger will resume functioning after the attack. This attack exploits the trade-off between resilience and availability. Any protection against abusive client connections will also prevent the network being accessed by certain legitimate users. • https://github.com/hyperledger/indy-node/commit/53a2a1bf1a26cb8ba710fd6adc8bcf275186a4b3 https://github.com/hyperledger/indy-node/security/advisories/GHSA-x996-7qh9-7ff7 • CWE-400: Uncontrolled Resource Consumption •
