- CWE-405 - Asymmetric Resource Consumption (Amplification)
Summary
Chall-Manager is a platform-agnostic system able to start Challenges on Demand of a player. When decoding a scenario (i.e. a zip archive), the size of the decoded content is not checked, potentially leading to zip bombs decompression. Exploitation does not require authentication nor authorization, so anyone can exploit it. It should nonetheless not be exploitable as it is highly recommended to bury Chall-Manager deep within the infrastructure due to its large capabilities, so no users could reach the system. Patch has been implemented by commit 14042aa and shipped in v0.1.4.

Mitigation
Phase: Architecture and Design
Description:
- An application must make resources available to a client commensurate with the client's access level.
Mitigation
Phase: Architecture and Design
Description:
- An application must, at all times, keep track of allocated resources and meter their usage appropriately.
Mitigation
Phase: System Configuration
Description:
- Consider disabling resource-intensive algorithms on the server side, such as Diffie-Hellman key exchange.
