CVE-2025-61726 — Memory exhaustion in query parameter parsing in net/url

Description (CNA)

The net/url package does not set a limit on the number of query parameters in a query. While the maximum size of query parameters in URLs is generally limited by the maximum request header size, the net/http.Request.ParseForm method can parse large URL-encoded forms. Parsing a large form containing many unique query parameters can cause excessive memory consumption.

Affected (CNA)

A flaw was found in the net/url package in the Go standard library. The package does not enforce a limit on the number of unique query parameters it parses. A Go application using the net/http.Request.ParseForm method will try to process all parameters provided in the request. A specially crafted HTTP request containing a massive number of query parameters will cause the application to consume an excessive amount of memory, eventually causing the application to crash or become unresponsive, resulting in a denial of service.
