Denial of service via unbounded ZIP extraction
Published Jul 10, 2026 · Updated Jul 10, 2026
Decompression bomb handling in Grav before 2.0.1 allows remote authenticated users to exhaust disk space with a crafted ZIP archive. ZipArchiver::extract() in system/src/Grav/Common/Filesystem/ZipArchiver.php validates entry paths but passes the archive to ZipArchive::extractTo() without limiting expanded size, file count, or nesting depth. Exploitation requires a third-party plugin or custom code to route attacker-controlled ZIP data through this otherwise unused first-party extraction path, and a shared web-root partition can make the site unavailable.
