Adversaries may target resource intensive features of web applications to cause a denial of service (DoS). Specific features in web applications may be highly resource intensive. Repeated requests to those features may be able to exhaust system resources and deny access to the application or the server itself. (Citation: Arbor AnnualDoSreport Jan 2018)

Comments
Often used by adversaries to affect availability and deprive legitimate user access, Palo Alto Network's vulnerability signatures are able to detect denial-of-service (DoS) attacks that attempt to crash a target system by flooding it with application traffic.
This was scored as minimal because there are other ways adversaries could
This technique was scored as significant based on Palo Alto Network's advanced threat detection technology which constantly updates to detect against variations of these cyber-attacks.
