@octokit/webhooks is vulnerable to Denial Of Service (DoS). The vulnerability is caused by a lack of exception handling in the verifyAndReceive method within src/verify-and-receive.ts. This method internally calls another method verify which throws an exception which remains unhandled. This uncaught exception ends the running nodejs process resulting in Denial Of Service (DoS).
