## Affected

- misskey-dev misskey: from 12.0.0, through 13.14.2; from 2023.9.0-beta.1, fixed in 2025.4.1; from 2025.5.0, fixed in 2026.7.0

## Description

Misskey is an open source, federated social media platform. From 13.0.0 until 2025.4.1 and from 2025.5.0 until 2026.7.0, cleanup processing may not execute during file uploads. Repeated uploads can exhaust storage or file descriptors and deny service regardless of whether federation is enabled. This issue is fixed in version 2026.7.0.

## What to do

- Check your stack: if you ship or depend on misskey-dev misskey, upgrade to a fixed version (2025.4.1, 2026.7.0) per the references below.
