AI-suggested

Upgrade Schemathesis to version 4.32.5 or later, where the issue is fixed by creating a new ValidationAbortedError instance per aborted validation and clearing traceback references. If upgrading is not possible, apply the provided workaround to clear the traceback of the shared error after each validation to prevent memory retention.

Description

A denial of service vulnerability in Schemathesis's GraphQL-core validation occurs due to a memory leak when validations are aborted after exceeding the max_errors limit. The shared ValidationAbortedError instance retains traceback frames and validation context, causing memory to grow with each aborted validation request. This can exhaust memory and crash the process. The issue affects versions >=4.32.1 and <4.32.5 and is fixed in 4.32.5.
