Description
Typesense is a fast, typo-tolerant search engine. Prior to versions 29.1 and 30.2, there is an unauthenticated denial-of-service vulnerability in the /multi_search endpoint. A specially crafted request can trigger an unhandled exception during request processing, causing the server process to terminate. This issue can be exploited over the network without authentication and results in service unavailability. The duration of impact may vary depending on system configuration and dataset size. This issue has been patched in versions 29.1 and 30.2.

AI Analysis

Impact

An unauthenticated endpoint in Typesense’s /multi_search can be triggered with a specially crafted request, causing an unhandled exception that terminates the server process. The result is a complete loss of service until it is restarted, which can disrupt search availability for applications relying on Typesense.

Affected Systems

The vulnerability affects all instances of Typesense, specifically versions older than 29.1 and 30.2. These release dates are documented as the point where the issue was patched.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 8.7 indicates a high severity of this denial‑of‑service flaw. With an EPSS score of less than 1%, the likelihood of exploitation is low, and the vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. Exploitation is possible from any network location that can reach the /multi_search endpoint without authentication, and the attack vector is inferred to be remote network access because the request can be sent over the network and does not require privileged access to the server.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Update Typesense to version 29.1 or 30.2 to apply the fix that handles the unhandled exception and prevents service crashes
  • If a patch cannot be applied immediately, restrict access to the /multi_search endpoint by firewall rules or IP whitelisting to limit exposure to trusted hosts
  • Monitor application logs and process state for signs of unexpected crashes or unhandled exceptions to detect any attempted exploitation
