TL;DR

Daphne before 4.2.2 did not pass maxFramePayloadSize or maxMessagePayloadSize to Autobahn's WebSocketServerFactory. Because Autobahn defaults both values to 0 (unlimited), an unauthenticated remote attacker could send arbitrarily large WebSocket messages or frames, causing excessive memory consumption and a denial of service.

Who does this affect?

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

Background info

daphne is vulnerable to Allocation of Resources Without Limits or Throttling in versions 0.9.3 - 4.2.1.
