How does ASP.NET Core protect against request body overconsumption?

Expert .NET Core
Quick Answer MaxRequestBodySize in Kestrel (default 30MB) and IIS limits prevent clients from sending oversized bodies. Per-action overrides: [RequestSizeLimit(bytes)] increases or [DisableRequestSizeLimit] removes the limit for specific actions. The body is also limited to not be buffered unless you explicitly enable request body buffering (EnableBuffering()).

Answer

ASP.NET Core enforces limits on request size, form size, field count, and upload sizes. It aborts oversized requests and streams bodies to prevent memory exhaustion.
