{"cve":"CVE-2023-37279","nvd":{"published":"2023-09-20T22:15:13.093","modified":"2026-06-17T06:07:52.603","status":"Modified","description":"Faktory is a language-agnostic persistent background job server. Prior to version 1.8.0, the Faktory web dashboard can suffer from denial of service by a crafted malicious url query param `days`. The vulnerability is related to how the backend reads the `days` URL query parameter in the Faktory web dashboard. The value is used directly without any checks to create a string slice. If a very large value is provided, the backend server ends up using a significant amount of memory and causing it to crash. Version 1.8.0 fixes this issue.","cvss_v4":null,"cvss_v3":{"version":"3.1","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H","score":7.5},"cwes":["CWE-770","CWE-789"],"references":["https://github.com/contribsys/faktory/security/advisories/GHSA-x4hh-vjm7-g2jv","https://github.com/contribsys/faktory/security/advisories/GHSA-x4hh-vjm7-g2jv"],"products":["contribsys:faktory"],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-19T21:39:24.235896374+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2023-37279","score":0.00919,"percentile":0.60272,"date":"2026-11-01"},"kev":null,"osv":[{"id":"GHSA-x4hh-vjm7-g2jv","url":"https://osv.dev/vulnerability/GHSA-x4hh-vjm7-g2jv","summary":"Faktory Web Dashboard can lead to denial of service(DOS) via malicious user input","modified":"2026-09-10T03:50:03.391732841Z","packages":[{"ecosystem":"Go","name":"github.com/contribsys/faktory","purl":"pkg:golang/github.com/contribsys/faktory","ranges":["<1.8.0"],"fixed":["1.8.0"]}]},{"id":"GO-2023-2067","url":"https://osv.dev/vulnerability/GO-2023-2067","summary":"Faktory Web Dashboard can lead to denial of service(DOS) via malicious user input in github.com/contribsys/faktory","modified":"2026-03-03T04:54:11.261239Z","packages":[{"ecosystem":"Go","name":"github.com/contribsys/faktory","purl":"pkg:golang/github.com/contribsys/faktory","ranges":["<1.8.0"],"fixed":["1.8.0"]}]}],"attribution":["This product uses the NVD API but is not endorsed or certified by the NVD.","EPSS scores: FIRST Exploit Prediction Scoring System, https://www.first.org/epss","Known exploited vulnerabilities: CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities Catalog, https://www.cisa.gov/known-exploited-vulnerabilities-catalog","Package advisories: OSV (https://osv.dev), from the GitHub Advisory Database, PyPA, Go, RustSec and other ecosystem databases, under CC-BY 4.0 or CC0","CVE records: the CVE Program's CVE List (https://www.cve.org), under its terms of use (https://www.cve.org/Legal/TermsOfUse).
