Description
A flaw was found in Faraday, an HTTP client library. The Faraday::NestedParamsEncoder, which handles nested query parameters, does not limit the depth of nested query strings during decoding. A remote attacker can exploit this by sending a specially crafted query string, causing the application to build an excessively deep data structure. This can lead to a SystemStackError, resulting in a Denial of Service (DoS) by crashing the application's processing thread or worker.
