Description
A potential resource exhaustion vulnerability has been identified in gProfiler's command queue management related to queue size handling.
Impact: This could affect service availability under certain conditions.
Under certain conditions, this could lead to unbounded memory growth in the gProfiler agent.
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by locating CommandManager.enqueue_command and tracing how command queue size is handled. Reproduce the stated conditions if possible and determine how unbounded memory growth occurs; done means the queue no longer permits resource exhaustion and the behavior is covered by an appropriate regression check.
