TL;DR

The decompress interceptor decompresses response bodies according to the untrusted Content-Encoding header and caps the number of layers but not the total decompressed output size. A small compressed payload can expand without bound in client memory and stall or crash the process. The fix adds a maxSize limit and rejects responses that exceed it.

Who does this affect?

You are affected if you are using a version that falls within the vulnerable range and you use interceptors.decompress().
