Description
Strawberry GraphQL's WebSocket subscription handlers for both the `graphql-transport-ws` and legacy `graphql-ws` protocols allocate an `asyncio.Task` and associated `Operation` object for every incoming subscribe message without enforcing any limit on the number of active subscriptions per connection.
An unauthenticated attacker can open a single WebSocket connection, send connection_init, and then flood subscribe messages with unique IDs. Each message unconditionally spawns a new `asyncio.Task` and async generator, causing linear memory growth and event loop saturation. This leads to server degradation or an OOM crash.
