The product does not properly "clean up" and remove temporary or supporting resources after they have been used.
Incomplete cleanup in Network in Google Chrome prior to 152.0.7977.82 allowed a remote attacker to bypass system access restrictions via crafted network traffic. (Chromium security severity: High)
Incomplete Cleanup (CWE-459) in Elastic Cloud on Kubernetes (ECK) can lead to unauthorized access via Privilege Abuse (CAPEC-122). Authentication credentials persist after a cross-namespace association has been denied by RBAC enforcement, allowing a low-privileged tenant to retain unauthorized read access to the associated Elasticsearch cluster.
multer is a middleware for handling multipart/form-data in Node.js. In version 2.2.0, when a disk-backed upload is aborted or truncated before the write stream finishes, multer's disk storage engine removes the visible file but does not close the underlying write file descriptor, leaving a deleted but still open descriptor. A remote attacker able to reach an upload route using the built-in disk storage can send repeated aborted or malformed multipart uploads, each one leaking a file descriptor and retaining disk blocks until the process exits, which can exhaust resources and cause a denial of service. The issue is fixed in multer 2.3.0, which closes the destination write stream on abnormal source termination and defers cleanup until the stream has closed. Upgrade to multer 2.3.0 to remediate.
