CVE-2022-31110: Denial of Service (DoS) vulnerability in RSSHub

RSSHub is an open source, extensible RSS feed generator. In commits prior to 5c4177441417 passing some special values to the `filter` and `filterout` parameters can cause an abnormally high CPU. This results in an impact on the performance of the servers and RSSHub services which may lead to a denial of service. This issue has been fixed in commit 5c4177441417 and all users are advised to upgrade. There are no known workarounds for this issue.

Security readout for executives and security teams

Plain-English summary

CVE-2022-31110 is a denial-of-service issue in RSSHub. Certain `filter` and `filterout` parameter values can drive unusually high CPU use, degrading RSSHub performance or availability. It affects commits before the fixed commit and has no known workaround in the provided advisory.

Executive priority

Treat this as a moderate availability risk. It is unlikely to expose data based on the CVSS impact, but public RSSHub services should be upgraded promptly to prevent avoidable performance degradation or outage.

Technical view

RSSHub before commit 5c4177441417b44a6e45c3c63e9eac2504abeb5b is vulnerable to uncontrolled resource consumption, tracked as CWE-400. CVSS 3.1 is 5.3: network exploitable, low complexity, no privileges, no user interaction, and limited availability impact only.

Likely exposure

Exposure is most likely for internet-accessible RSSHub deployments running source builds or containers based on commits before 5c4177441417b44a6e45c3c63e9eac2504abeb5b. The bundle provides no CPEs or named packaged versions.

Exploitation context

The source bundle does not cite active exploitation, and KEV is false. The CVSS vector indicates unauthenticated network reachability, but the sources do not provide exploit prevalence, scanning activity, or weaponized details.

Researcher notes

The evidence is strongest for affected range, root impact, and fixed commit. It is incomplete for exploit activity, affected packaged versions, and compensating controls. Avoid asserting more than resource-exhaustion DoS without additional vendor evidence.

Mitigation direction

  • Upgrade RSSHub to a build containing commit 5c4177441417b44a6e45c3c63e9eac2504abeb5b.
  • Check the GitHub advisory for any later vendor guidance or release mapping.
  • Prioritize public RSSHub instances because the CVSS vector is network-based and unauthenticated.
  • Do not rely on a workaround; the advisory states none are known.

Validation and detection

  • Inventory RSSHub deployments and identify their deployed commit or image provenance.
  • Confirm the fixed commit is present in the running codebase or container image.
  • Review monitoring for abnormal CPU spikes affecting RSSHub service availability.
  • Check access logs for unusual use of `filter` or `filterout` parameters.
