Executive Summary

This is a memory exhaustion vulnerability in SvelteKit versions between 2.49.0 and 2.52.1 when experimental remote functions and form are enabled. Malformed form data causes excessive memory allocation, crashing the server and leading to denial of service.

Detection Guidance

Monitor server memory usage and process crashes during form submissions. Check for excessive memory allocation when remote functions are enabled in SvelteKit versions between 2.49.0 and 2.52.1.

Impact Analysis

If exploited, this vulnerability can crash your SvelteKit server by consuming excessive memory, resulting in downtime and service unavailability for users.

Mitigation Strategies

Upgrade SvelteKit to version 2.52.2 or later. Disable experimental.remoteFunctions if not required. Implement rate limiting on form submissions to prevent memory exhaustion.
