Threat & Defense Details
Likely Mitigating ControlsAI
Per-CVE control mapping for this CVE has not run yet; the list below is derived from the weakness types (CWEs) cited in the NVD entry.
Limiting concurrent sessions directly prevents uncontrolled resource consumption by capping the number of active sessions per user or account.
Analysis identifies uncontrolled resource consumption indicative of denial-of-service or abuse attempts.
Contingency plan testing includes resource exhaustion scenarios to verify recovery, making it harder for attackers to sustain exploits that cause uncontrolled consumption.
Updated contingency plans include current procedures to detect, contain, and recover from resource exhaustion, limiting an attacker's ability to sustain impact from uncontrolled consumption.
Alternate site allows resumption of operations if resource exhaustion at the primary site is exploited to cause unavailability.
Alternate telecommunications services enable resumption of essential functions when primary services become unavailable due to uncontrolled resource consumption.
The team can analyze and respond to resource exhaustion incidents, reducing the impact of attacks that exploit uncontrolled consumption weaknesses.
Timely maintenance support and spare parts enable rapid recovery from failures induced by uncontrolled resource consumption, shortening the impact window of denial-of-service attacks.
MITRE ATT&CK Enterprise TechniquesAI
Why these techniques?
Uncontrolled resource consumption (CWE-400) in a remotely accessible application directly enables application or system exploitation to achieve denial of service via resource exhaustion.
NVD Description
An issue pertaining to CWE-400: Uncontrolled Resource Consumption was discovered in YMFE yapi v1.12.0 and allows attackers to cause a denial of service.
Deeper analysisAI
CVE-2025-70059 is an uncontrolled resource consumption vulnerability (CWE-400) discovered in YMFE yapi version 1.12.0. This flaw enables attackers to trigger a denial of service condition by exhausting resources. The vulnerability was published on 2026-03-09T15:15:52.333 and carries a CVSS v3.1 base score of 7.5 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H), indicating high severity primarily due to its impact on availability.
Unauthenticated attackers can exploit this vulnerability remotely over the network with low attack complexity and no requirement for user interaction. Successful exploitation leads to a denial of service, disrupting service availability without compromising confidentiality or integrity.
