Unrestricted Resource Consumption is an API vulnerability that occurs when the usage of resource is not sufficiently limited, causing excessive usage of resources. Such resources can include CPU, memory or network bandwidth. Furthermore, API services of third-parties can be resources, which may have a cost per usage or may have...
XML Entity Expansion (CWE-611) is a form of attack that involves an attacker sending malicious XML input to an XML parser, which then causes the parser to consume an excessive amount of resources (CPU, memory, etc.). This can result in a denial of service (DoS) attack, which can disrupt the...
