Asymmetric denial of service In github.com/argoproj/argo-events
Description
Uses of deprecated API can be used to cause DoS in user-facing endpoints
Impact
Several HandleRoute endpoints make use of the deprecated ioutil.ReadAll(). ioutil.ReadAll() reads all the data into memory. As such, an attacker who sends a large request to the Argo Events server will be able to crash it and cause denial of service.
Eventsources susceptible to an out-of-memory denial-of-service attack:
AWS SNS

Gitlab
Slack
