Hi,

The following vulnerability was published for node-body-parser.

CVE-2025-13466[0]:
| body-parser 2.2.0 is vulnerable to denial of service due to
| inefficient handling of URL-encoded bodies with very large numbers
| of parameters. An attacker can send payloads containing thousands of
| parameters within the default 100KB request size limit, causing
| elevated CPU and memory usage. This can lead to service slowdown or
| partial outages under sustained malicious traffic. This issue is
| addressed in version 2.2.1.
