CVE-2024-39702 is a medium-severity vulnerability rated 5.9/10 on the CVSS scale. In lj_str_hash.c in OpenResty 1.19.3.1 through 1.25.3.1, the string hashing function (used during string interning) allows HashDoS (Hash Denial of Service) attacks. An attacker could cause excessive resource usage during proxy operations via crafted requests, potentially leading to a denial of service with relatively few incoming requests. EPSS estimates a 0.56% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
