In daemon deployments up to and including version 1.1.0, `POST /pins` in `src/filecoin-pinning-server.ts` checks a caller-supplied CID with `CID.parse` and passes it to `pinStore.pin`, but does not enforce request rate limits or per-user quotas. In `src/filecoin-pin-store.ts`, each pin independently schedules `_processPinInBackground` with `setTimeout` without a queue, semaphore or concurrency cap, then recursively traverses the full DAG using `helia.pins.add(cid)`. The per-pin Helia/Bitswap node in `src/create-pinning-helia.ts` has no application-level byte, block or traversal-time limits. Blocks are written under `carStoragePath` by `src/core/car/car-blockstore-base.ts` and `src/core/car/car-file-backend.ts`, with `stats.totalSize` updated only after writing. An authenticated caller, or an anonymous caller when `ALLOW_NO_AUTH=true`, can submit large DAGs and exhaust disk, network, CPU, memory and libp2p resources, causing service degradation or host/process failure and leaving partial CAR files requiring recovery. The default localhost binding and token requirement reduce exposure. Because nodes have no bootstrap or mDNS configuration, a CID alone may not be fetchable, but caller-supplied `origins` can point to a reachable attacker-controlled libp2p source; concurrent requests accelerate resource pressure. Version 1.1.1 documents operational mitigations but does not implement the missing resource controls.","score":6.5,"severity":"medium","published":"2026-10-30T20:15:23.238Z","modified":"2026-10-30T20:15:23.238Z","withdrawn":false,"knownExploited":false,"affected":[],"products":[{"vendor":"filecoin-project","name":"filecoin-pin","platforms":[],"versions":[{"version":"<= 1.1.0","status":"affected"}],"cpes":[],"source":"GitHub_M","url":"https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2026-62300"}],"remediation":[],"references":["https://github.com/filecoin-project/filecoin-pin/security/advisories/GHSA-m5ph-mmg5-6w5h","https://github.com/filecoin-project/filecoin-pin/commit/8db22b47899deb78dadf415fc477cae4bd6e82c2"],"sources":[{"name":"CVE","id":"CVE-2026-62300","modified":"2026-10-30T20:15:23.238Z","url":"https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2026-62300"}],"assessments":[{"source":"GitHub_M","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H","score":6.5}],"sourceAffected":[],"observedAt":"2026-10-30T21:23:37.247Z","kev":{"status":"not-listed","checkedAt":"2026-10-31T05:20:32.057Z"},"coverage":[{"source":"NVD","status":"not-checked"},{"source":"GHSA","status":"not-checked"},{"source":"EUVD","status":"not-checked"},{"source":"EPSS","status":"not-checked"}],"evidence":[],"aiSummary":{"text":"Filecoin Pin versions up to 1.1.0 are affected by unbounded DAG pinning, which can exhaust server resources.
