Elysia is a Typescript framework for request validation, type inference, OpenAPI documentation, and client-server communication. Prior to 1.4.29, Elysia uses getAll in form data normalization for multipart/form-data endpoints, causing the amount of work to grow quadratically with the number of unique key-value pairs and allowing CPU exhaustion. This issue is fixed in version 1.4.29.

Affected: npm: elysia

Elysia v1.4.28 is vulnerable to denial-of-service attacks due to CPU exhaustion in the form data normalization code.

Elysia uses `getAll` to retrieve value from FormData. It is called directly relative to the total number of key-value pairs in the form data. The total amount of work the for loop has to do grows quadratically, so doubling the number of unique key-value pairs quadruples the amount of work. In the above PoC, each .getAll call scans through all of the `n` key-value pairs in the form data. Because there are `n` unique keys in the form data, there are .getAll calls, so in total the form data normalizer has to scan `n` x `n` key-value pairs.

### Impact Endpoints using `multipart/form-data`
