mobiledetect/mobiledetectlib is vulnerable to Uncontrolled Resource Consumption
59
Medium Risk
This Affects:
mobiledetect/mobiledetectlibTL;DR
The bundled in-memory Detection\Cache\Cache used by default MobileDetect instances could grow without a cardinality limit when the same object is reused across many distinct User-Agent values in long-running PHP workers. An attacker sending many unique User-Agent strings can cause sustained memory growth and eventual worker exhaustion. Versions before 4.11.0 keep every distinct cache key until process end unless operators inject a bounded external PSR-16 backend. Release 4.11.0 adds a default cap of 1000 entries with FIFO eviction on new keys.

You are affected if you are using a version that falls within the vulnerable range.
