undici vulnerable to response truncation via oversized chunked responses in the dump interceptor

CISA KEV is observed exploitation evidence. FIRST EPSS is a dated prediction of exploitation in the next 30 days. Missing scores are unknown. This collector requests predictions only for explicit CVE aliases in the public NuGet archive; Microsoft release views retain their existing prediction scope.

No collected risk observation for these identifiers. This does not establish absence of exploitation or a zero probability.

undici's dump interceptor reads and discards a response body up to a configurable maximum size. When a response declares a Content-Length that exceeds the maximum, the interceptor aborts cleanly, but when a response has no Content-Length and is chunked, the interceptor instead signals completion early once the accumulated size reaches the maximum, without pausing or aborting the request. Because the underlying parser keeps delivering body bytes, a second completion signal fires and trips an internal assertion, which aborts the request and tears down the connection. The application is left observing a misleading successful status with an empty or truncated body while the connection has actually been disconnected. This affects undici versions from 7.1.0 up to 7.29.1 and from 8.0.0 up to 8.10.2. Users should upgrade to undici 7.29.1 or 8.10.2.

### Impact undici's `interceptors.dump()` reads and discards response bodies up to a configurable `maxSize`. When a response declares a `Content-Length` that exceeds `maxSize`, the request is aborted cleanly. When a response is sent chunked (no `Content-Length`) and its body exceeds `maxSize`, it is not aborted: the interceptor ends the response early once the accumulated size reaches `maxSize`, and continued delivery from the parser triggers an internal assertion that is caught and turned into a request abort and connection tear-down. The application observes a misleading `200` with an empty or truncated body while the connection is disconnected. Any application using the dump interceptor against untrusted or misbehaving upstreams is affected. ### Patches Upgrade to `7.29.1` or `8.10.2`. The dump interceptor now enforces `maxSize` on both the declared and the received body size, aborting the request with a `RequestAbortedError` instead of returning a truncated response. ### Workarounds None. Avoid using `interceptors.dump()` with untrusted upstreams until upgraded.
