5DescriptionCVE.org
parsedmarc before 11.0.1 decompresses gzip and ZIP attachments in a single unbounded read with no limit on decompressed output size. Because parsedmarc automatically processes incoming DMARC report emails without user interaction, an unauthenticated remote attacker can send a crafted email with a highly compressed attachment to the monitored mailbox, causing the parsedmarc process to allocate memory proportional to the uncompressed size and exhaust available RAM.
AnalysisAI
Unbounded decompression of gzip and ZIP attachments in parsedmarc before 11.0.1 exposes any organization running automated DMARC report processing to remote, unauthenticated denial of service. Because extract_report() inflates compressed attachments with no size ceiling, a decompression bomb exploiting deflate's ~1000:1 ratio on degenerate input - e.g., a 100 KB attachment expanding to ~100 MB in RAM, with peak usage near 200 MB - exhausts host memory when parsedmarc auto-processes the email. …

Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Exploitation requires only the ability to deliver an email to the mailbox that parsedmarc monitors for DMARC reports - the rua= or ruf= address published in the target's public DNS DMARC record. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The CVSS 4.0 score of 8.7 with vector AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N and VA:H accurately reflects the technical profile: zero authentication, zero complexity, zero user interaction, and reliable availability impact. … 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 parsedmarc 11.0.1, available at https://github.com/domainaware/parsedmarc/releases/tag/11.0.1. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
