Summary
Nezha 2.0.0 before 2.4.0 contains a NULL pointer dereference in ServiceSentinel.loadTodayStats (CWE-476) that lets an authenticated user crash the dashboard. An attacker with low privileges and network access can delete their own service, which leaves orphaned service history rows that crash the non-TSDB dashboard on its next startup until those rows are removed manually. The impact is limited to availability.
