This behavior can lead to performance degradation, increased resource consumption, and potential denial-of-service (DoS) attacks. Without proper limits, malicious users can exploit this feature to overload the backend system, affecting its availability and performance.
An attacker submits a query with over 100 aliases, each alias causing the server to process the same data multiple times. This can lead to a significant increase in resource consumption, overwhelming the server. If the server does not limit the number of aliases, it may experience performance degradation, slower responses, or even fail, resulting in a denial-of-service (DoS) attack.
