AI-suggested
Version 0.14.0 of zapros contains an official fix and should be applied to remediate this vulnerability. Until upgrading, users can mitigate the issue by reading the compressed response body using Response.iter_raw() or Response.async_iter_raw() to bypass the built-in decoders and decompress manually with explicit output-size bounds (e.g., using zlib's max_length). Additionally, sending the Accept-Encoding: identity header disables response compression and avoids client-side decompression. Avoid decoding response bodies from untrusted servers.
Description
Zapros, a Python HTTP client, has a denial of service vulnerability prior to version 0.14.0 caused by memory exhaustion when processing compressed HTTP responses. The issue arises because the decoder does not respect the chunk size limit, allowing a single compressed response to consume excessive memory. Version 0.14.0 includes a patch to address this vulnerability. Workarounds include manually decompressing the response with explicit output-size limits or disabling compression by sending the Accept-Encoding: identity header.
