  - multer is a middleware for handling multipart/form-data in Node.js. When an application uses an
    asynchronous fileFilter together with the fileSize limit, a race condition in multer's file stream
    handling can allow a file that exceeds the configured size limit to bypass the size-limit rejection. All
    versions before 2.3.0 are affected. The impact is limited because the underlying multipart parser still
    truncates the stream at the size limit, so this is a bypass of the limit rejection rather than
    uncontrolled resource consumption. The issue is fixed in multer 2.3.0. Upgrade to multer 2.3.0 to
    remediate. (CVE-2026-77063)
