CVE-2025-71417 (opens in a new tab)How to fix?
Upgrade pocketmine/pocketmine-mp to version 5.32.1 or higher.
Overview
pocketmine/pocketmine-mp is a highly customisable, open source server software for Minecraft: Bedrock Edition written in PHP
Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Allocation of Resources Without Limits or Throttling via the STATUS_SEND_PACKS handling of ResourcePackClientResponsePacket, which handles the packIds array without verifying that all entries are unique. An attacker can cause excessive memory consumption and crash the server by sending a large number of duplicate valid pack UUIDs in a single packet.
Note: This is exploitable if the attacker is an authenticated player and the server has resource packs enabled.
