Synchronous Access of Remote Resource without Timeout
CVE-2024-8061
Summary
In aim package, certain methods that request data from external servers do not have set timeouts, causing the server to wait indefinitely for a response. This can lead to a Denial of Service, as the tracking server does not respond to other requests while waiting. The issue arises in the client used by the `aim` tracking server to communicate with external resources, specifically in the `_run_read_instructions` method and similar calls without timeouts.
