## Overview

In version 3.25.0 of aimhubio/aim, the tracking server is vulnerable to a denial of service attack. The server overrides the maximum size for websocket messages, allowing very large images to be tracked. This causes the server to become unresponsive to other requests while processing the large image, leading to a denial of service condition.

## Affected packages

- `aim <= 3.25.0`

## Remediation

Refer to the advisory for the patched release.
