6.5 MEDIUM

Network-reachable upload feature (AV:N/AC:L) requires an authenticated low-privilege account (PR:L); impact is pure disk-exhaustion DoS, so C:N/I:N/A:H with no scope change.

DescriptionCVE.org

Grav before 2.0.1 contains a decompression bomb vulnerability in ZipArchiver::extract() that lacks limits on uncompressed size, file count, and nesting depth. Attackers can supply a crafted ZIP archive that expands to fill available disk space, causing denial of service by exhausting storage resources.

AnalysisAI

Denial of service in Grav CMS before 2.0.1 allows authenticated users to exhaust server storage by uploading a crafted ZIP archive (a decompression bomb) that the ZipArchiver::extract() routine expands without enforcing limits on uncompressed size, file count, or nesting depth. The CVSS 4.0 base score of 7.1 reflects a network-reachable, low-privilege flaw whose sole impact is high availability loss. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Exploitation requires an authenticated account (CVSS PR:L) with permission to reach a Grav feature that invokes ZipArchiver::extract() - specifically the ZIP-based package/plugin/theme installation or backup-restore upload paths - and the ability to supply an attacker-controlled ZIP archive to one of those endpoints. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The signals are internally consistent and point to a moderate, availability-only risk rather than a top-tier priority. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario An attacker holding a low-privilege authenticated account with access to Grav's upload or package-installation feature crafts a small ZIP decompression bomb (highly redundant data with deep nesting) and submits it to a function that calls ZipArchiver::extract(). Extraction proceeds without size or depth limits, expanding the archive until the server's disk fills, halting Grav and potentially other services on the same volume. …
Remediation Vendor-released patch: Grav 2.0.1 - upgrade to version 2.0.1 or later, which adds limits to ZipArchiver::extract(), per the GitHub Security Advisory GHSA-928x-9mpw-8h56 (https://github.com/getgrav/grav/security/advisories/GHSA-928x-9mpw-8h56) and the VulnCheck advisory (https://www.vulncheck.com/advisories/grav-before-decompression-bomb-via-ziparchiver). … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.
