DoS vulnerability on `alloy_dyn_abi::TypedData` hashing

High
zerosnacks published GHSA-pgp9-98jm-wwq2 Oct 15, 2025

Package

cargo alloy-dyn-abi (Rust)

Affected versions

<0.8.26, >=1.0.0, <1.4.1

Patched versions

0.8.26, 1.4.1

Description

Impact

An uncaught panic triggered by malformed input to alloy_dyn_abi::TypedData could lead to a denial-of-service (DoS) via eip712_signing_hash().

Software with high availability requirements such as network services may be particularly impacted. If in use, external auto-restarting mechanisms can partially mitigate the availability issues unless repeated attacks are possible.

Patches

The vulnerability was patched by adding a check to ensure the element is not empty before accessing its first element; an error is returned if it is empty. The fix is included in version v1.4.1 and backported to v0.8.26.

Workarounds

There is no known workaround that mitigates the vulnerability. Upgrading to a patched version is the recommended course of action.

CVSS v3 base metrics

Attack vector: More severe the more the remote (logically and physically) an attacker can be in order to exploit the vulnerability.
Attack complexity: More severe for the least complex attacks.
Privileges required: More severe if no privileges are required.
User interaction: More severe when no user interaction is required.
Scope: More severe when a scope change occurs, e.g. one vulnerable component impacts resources in components beyond its security scope.
Confidentiality: More severe when loss of data confidentiality is highest, measuring the level of data access available to an unauthorized user.
Integrity: More severe when loss of data integrity is the highest, measuring the consequence of data modification possible by an unauthorized user.
Availability: More severe when the loss of impacted component availability is highest.
