Summary
An issue was found in the CPython `zipfile` module affecting versions 3.12.1, 3.11.7, 3.10.13, 3.9.18, and 3.8.18 and prior. The zipfile module is vulnerable to “quoted-overlap” zip-bombs which exploit the zip format to create a zip-bomb with a high compression ratio. The fixed versions of CPython makes the zipfile module reject zip archives which overlap entries in the archive.

CVE-2025-53633 (GCVE-0-2025-53633)
Vulnerability from cvelistv5

CWE
  • 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.
