OliveTin: Unauthenticated users can crash the system with excessive requests
GHSA-pc8g-78pf-4xrp
CVE-2026-28342
Summary
Prior to version 3000.10.2, OliveTin's PasswordHash API endpoint can be exploited by sending multiple requests in quick succession, causing the system to run out of memory and become unavailable. This can lead to service degradation or complete downtime. To protect your system, update to version 3000.10.2 or later.
What to do
- Update github.com olivetin to version 0.0.0-20260227002407-2eb5f0ba79d4.

Original description
OliveTin gives access to predefined shell commands from a web interface. Prior to version 3000.10.2, the PasswordHash API endpoint allows unauthenticated users to trigger excessive memory allocation by sending concurrent password hashing requests. By issuing multiple parallel requests, an attacker can exhaust available container memory, leading to service degradation or complete denial of service (DoS). The issue occurs because the endpoint performs computationally and memory-intensive hashing operations without request throttling, authentication requirements, or resource limits. This issue has been patched in version 3000.10.2.
