Python vulnerability analysis and mitigation
Overview
A vulnerability (CVE-2024-12778) was discovered in aimhubio/aim version 3.25.0 that allows for a denial of service (DoS) attack. The vulnerability was disclosed on March 20, 2025, and affects the Aim web API functionality (NVD).
Technical details
The vulnerability stems from the lack of a limit on the number of metrics that can be requested per call to the Aim web API, combined with the server's single-threaded nature. When a large number of tracked metrics are retrieved simultaneously, it leads to excessive resource consumption and blocking of the server. The vulnerability has been assigned a CVSS v3.0 base score of 7.5 (HIGH) with the vector string CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H and is classified as CWE-400 (Uncontrolled Resource Consumption) (NVD, Huntr).
Impact
When exploited, this vulnerability can cause the web server to become unresponsive, effectively denying service to legitimate users. The attack specifically impacts the availability of the system while not affecting confidentiality or integrity (NVD).
