DescriptionCVE.org

A weakness has been identified in GPAC up to 26.02.0. This affects an unknown part of the file src/utils/base_encoding.c of the component ISOBMFF Parser. Executing a manipulation can lead to highly compressed data. The attack needs to be launched locally. The exploit has been made available to the public and could be used for attacks. This patch is called 297f2d8d1f493d8b241330533cd47f7da758aeb3. A patch should be applied to remediate this issue. The vendor confirms: "We added a check on inflate output size, if it surpasses 32 times the input size we stop in error. This value could be adjusted later."

AnalysisAI

Unbounded zlib decompression in GPAC up to version 26.02.0 allows a local low-privileged attacker to cause resource exhaustion via a crafted highly-compressed (zip-bomb) payload processed by the ISOBMFF parser and associated filter modules. The affected function gf_gz_decompress_payload_ex() in src/utils/base_encoding.c applies no ceiling on inflated output size, enabling disproportionate memory or CPU consumption. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation The attacker must have local access to the system and low-privilege credentials sufficient to invoke GPAC directly or supply input to a GPAC-based media processing workflow. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The CVSS 4.0 score of 4.8 (medium) is well-calibrated for this vulnerability. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario A local user with standard system credentials crafts a zip-bomb compressed payload and feeds it to a GPAC media processing pipeline - for example, via an MP4 mux, SVG import, or NHML demux workflow that internally calls the zlib inflate routines. Without the output size cap, the inflated data grows far beyond 32x the input size, driving memory allocation and CPU usage until the GPAC process is terminated by the OS or the host becomes unresponsive. …
Remediation Apply the upstream patch available at commit 297f2d8d1f493d8b241330533cd47f7da758aeb3 (https://github.com/gpac/gpac/commit/297f2d8d1f493d8b241330533cd47f7da758aeb3) via PR #3589 (https://github.com/gpac/gpac/pull/3589). … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.
