CVE-2025-68272

Signal K Server is a server application that runs on a central hub in a boat. A Denial of Service (DoS) vulnerability in versions prior to 2.19.0 allows an unauthenticated attacker to crash the SignalK Server by flooding the access request endpoint (`/signalk/v1/access/requests`). This causes a "JavaScript heap out of memory" error due to unbounded in-memory storage of request objects. Version 2.19.0 fixes the issue.

Summary		(es) Signal K Server es una aplicación de servidor que se ejecuta en un concentrador central en una embarcación. Una vulnerabilidad de denegación de servicio (DoS) en versiones anteriores a la 2.19.0 permite a un atacante no autenticado bloquear el SignalK Server inundando el endpoint de solicitud de acceso ('/signalk/v1/access/requests'). Esto causa un error de 'JavaScript heap out of memory' debido al almacenamiento ilimitado en memoria de objetos de solicitud. La versión 2.19.0 soluciona el problema.
