Authenticated server crash via duplicate pack UUIDs
Published Sep 9, 2026 · Updated Sep 10, 2026
Improper input validation in PMMP PocketMine-MP before 5.32.1 allows remote authenticated users to crash the server via duplicate pack UUIDs. The STATUS_SEND_PACKS handler iterates the client-controlled packIds array without enforcing uniqueness and transmits a pack again for every repeated valid UUID. Exploitation requires resource packs to be enabled and a nonstandard authenticated client; repeated transmissions exhaust memory and freeze or crash the server.
