multer is a middleware for handling multipart/form-data in Node.js. A small multipart request containing two specially crafted text field names can cause an uncaught RangeError (Invalid array length) that terminates the Node.js process. The first field uses a very large numeric array index to allocate a maximum-length sparse array, and a second field then pushes past that length, which throws inside the append-field dependency and is not caught by multer. All versions before 2.3.0 are affected, and the issue is a remotely triggerable denial of service. The issue is fixed in multer 2.3.0. Upgrade to multer 2.3.0 to remediate.

Affected: npm: multer

### Impact

A vulnerability in multer allows a remote, unauthenticated attacker to crash the Node.js process with a single `multipart/form-data` request. Two specially crafted text field names cause an uncaught `RangeError: Invalid array length` inside multer's field parsing, which is not routed to the application error handler and terminates the process. All applications using multer to parse multipart requests are affected.

### Patches

Users should upgrade to `2.3.0`.

### Workarounds

None.
