Machine-written summary

Summary written by Claude Haiku from the source advisory. Not reviewed by a person.

Versions of the @apostrophecms/form npm package before 1.5.5 are affected. The form submission endpoint processes multipart uploads before any authentication, API-key, or form-existence checks, and sets no size, count, or rate limits. An unauthenticated remote client can send large request bodies that are written to the temporary directory, which can exhaust disk space and slow the server; the source notes that cleanup happens only after the full body is received. The fix is to upgrade @apostrophecms/form to version 1.5.5 or later.
