01

SUMMARY

Ciphraxis Research validated an algorithmic-complexity issue in numeric value construction from attacker-controlled structured input. A sufficiently large scalar matching an affected numeric syntax can cause the implementation to repeatedly perform arithmetic on increasingly large integer values, resulting in approximately quadratic CPU growth. The demonstrated security impact is limited to availability. Affected syntax, implementation details, and product identity remain temporarily withheld while vendor response is pending.

02

VALIDATED IMPACT

INTEGRITYNONE
CONFIDENTIALITYNONE
AVAILABILITYVALIDATED

Attacker-controlled structured input can cause disproportionate synchronous CPU consumption during numeric construction. Large inputs may occupy parsing workers for significant periods and reduce service capacity. No confidentiality or integrity impact has been validated.

03

EVIDENCE

The finding was independently reproduced and subjected to source-level and runtime validation before publication of this sanitized record.
