DescriptionCVE.org

PocketMine-MP versions before 5.39.2 fail to validate entity despawn state when processing attack packets from clients. Attackers can exploit a race condition by attacking a disconnecting player to trigger multiple death handlers, causing inventory items and experience to drop multiple times for duplication.

AnalysisAI

Item and experience duplication in PocketMine-MP before 5.39.2 allows any authenticated server player to exploit a race condition during another player's disconnection, causing inventory loot and XP to drop multiple times from a single death event. The InGamePacketHandler fetches entities via World->getEntity() without validating the flaggedForDespawn state, so the death handler can fire multiple times for the same disconnect-death event if a crafted attack packet arrives within the narrow timing window. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Exploitation requires two human players on the same server: the victim (Player A) must be at exactly 1 HP so a single hit kills them, and must initiate a disconnect sequence (click 'Disconnect' or 'Exit to Menu'). … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The CVSS 4.0 score of 6.3 with AV:N/AC:H/AT:P/PR:N/UI:N is an accurate reflection of real-world risk. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario Full exploit scenario with step-by-step reproduction available after sign-in.
Remediation Upgrade to PocketMine-MP 5.39.2 or later, which patches all affected code paths (InGamePacketHandler.php, Player.php, ExperienceOrb.php, BaseSign.php) with explicit flaggedForDespawn checks; the authoritative fix commit is c0719b76b18f2508143134e79bc9f1aa39109683. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.
