Description
Impact
Missing input validation of some parameters on the groups (also known as communities) endpoints could cause excessive use of disk space and memory leading to resource exhaustion. Additionally clients may have issues rendering large fields.
Patches
This issue is fixed by #9321 and #9393.
Workarounds
The groups feature can be disabled (by setting enable_group_creation to False) to mitigate this issue. Note that it is disabled by default.
