CVE-2021-41167 – Unlimited requests in modern-async

https://notcve.org/view.php?id=CVE-2021-41167

modern-async is an open source JavaScript tooling library for asynchronous operations using async/await and promises. In affected versions a bug affecting two of the functions in this library: forEachSeries and forEachLimit. They should limit the concurrency of some actions but, in practice, they don't. Any code calling these functions will be written thinking they would limit the concurrency but they won't. This could lead to potential security issues in other projects. • https://github.com/nicolas-van/modern-async/commit/0010d28de1b15d51db3976080e26357fa7144436 https://github.com/nicolas-van/modern-async/issues/5 https://github.com/nicolas-van/modern-async/security/advisories/GHSA-3pcq-34w5-p4g2 • CWE-400: Uncontrolled Resource Consumption CWE-770: Allocation of Resources Without Limits or Throttling •
