Technical details
The vulnerability is an uncontrolled resource consumption flaw (CWE-400) in the media download handlers across multiple channel implementations. The vulnerable code buffers full HTTP responses in memory via response.content without enforcing byte limits, timeout values, or stream-based limits before expensive processing. An attacker who can send media messages to a configured bot triggers denial of service through memory exhaustion, disk space consumption, and worker thread starvation.
