How to fix?

Upgrade pocketmine/pocketmine-mp to version 5.25.2 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 in the explode() function. An attacker can occupy excessive CPU or memory by sending malicious data to JWT parsing, sign editing, and other command parsing functions.

Workaround

The sign editing vector can be mitigated by pre-processing incoming data to filter out BlockActorDataPacket containing more than 4 newline-delimited parts.
