CVE-2026-68924Public exploitNetwork attack vector

Scan interruption via unzip size-check fallthrough

Published Aug 18, 2026 · Updated Aug 18, 2026

Denial of service in MobSF Mobile Security Framework before 4.5.1 allows remote authenticated users to interrupt scans via ZIP or APK upload. In mobsf/StaticAnalyzer/views/common/shared_func.py, unzip() logs that members over ZIP_MAX_UNCOMPRESSED_FILE_SIZE are being skipped but omits a continue, so the loop still extracts the oversized member unless the separate total-size check has already fired. Authenticated upload access is required, and the published impact is disk exhaustion that blocks further scans rather than code execution or direct data access.
