Tornado Uncontrolled Resource Consumption Vulnerability - CVE-2026-31958

Tornado is a Python web framework and asynchronous networking library. In versions of Tornado prior to 6.5.5 the only limit on the number of parts in multipart/form-data is the max_body_size setting (default 100MB). Since parsing occurs synchronously on the main thread this creates the possibility of denial-of-service due to the cost of parsing very large multipart bodies with many parts. This vulnerability is fixed in 6.5.5.
