Impact
A bug in the Data.init(base32Encoded:) function opens up the potential for exposing server memory and/or crashing the server (Denial of Service) for applications where untrusted data can end up in said function. Vapor does not currently use this function itself so this only impact applications that use the impacted function directly or through other dependencies.
Patches
This issue has been patched in 4.47.2.
Workarounds
Use an alternative to Vapor's built-in Data.init(base32Encoded:).
