  "details": "### Summary\nAutobahn Python enforces `maxMessagePayloadSize` against the compressed WebSocket frame length before permessage-deflate inflation, then delivers the inflated message to application callbacks without a second size check. A client frame that is only 22 compressed bytes can inflate to 4096 bytes and reach `onMessage` even when the application configured a 128-byte message limit, defeating the resource boundary the option is meant to provide.\n\n### Details\nThe permessage-deflate path installs a `PerMessageDeflate` instance when the server accepts a client offer in `src/autobahn/websocket/protocol.py:3371`. The common `PerMessageDeflateOfferAccept(offer)` path leaves `max_message_size` at its default `None` in `src/autobahn/websocket/compress_deflate.py:295`, and that value is copied into the compressor object in `src/autobahn/websocket/compress_deflate.py:723`. When a data frame arrives with RSV1 set, Autobahn marks the message compressed in `src/autobahn/websocket/protocol.py:1812`, calls `onMessageFrameBegin` with the compressed frame length, and increments `message_data_total_length` by that pre-inflate length in `src/autobahn/websocket/protocol.py:634`; the configured message cap is enforced against the same compressed accounting at `src/autobahn/websocket/protocol.py:636`. Only after those checks does Autobahn inflate the payload in `src/autobahn/websocket/protocol.py:1861`; because `max_message_size` is `None`, `src/autobahn/websocket/compress_deflate.py:812` calls zlib without an output cap. The inflated bytes are then passed to `onMessageFrameData` in `src/autobahn/websocket/protocol.py:1882`, appended for WebSocket version 13 without adding their inflated length to the message counter at `src/autobahn/websocket/protocol.py:667`, joined in `src/autobahn/websocket/protocol.py:690`, and delivered through `_onMessage` in `src/autobahn/websocket/protocol.py:693`. This is the same structural boundary mistake as CVE-2016-10544: a compressed-size check is treated as if it bounded the decompressed application message.\n\n### Reproduction\n```py\nimport sys\nimport

exercise this when the target endpoint accepts permessage-deflate offers and relies on `maxMessagePayloadSize` as its per-message resource limit. The attack sends a valid masked compressed text or data frame with RSV1 set and a compressed length below the configured frame/message caps; those pre-inflate checks pass, and the default accept-object path also bypasses the optional inflater-level `max_message_size` cap because it remains `None`. The user-visible effect is that application handlers may allocate, validate, join, and process inflated messages larger than the configured limit, enabling resource-exhaustion pressure on affected permessage-deflate endpoints. The local artifact demonstrates availability impact only, not confidentiality or integrity compromise.\n\n### Suggested fix\n```001-fix.diff\ndiff --git a/src/autobahn/websocket/protocol.py b/src/autobahn/websocket/protocol.py\nindex 3c060804..4514e3cb 100644\n--- a/src/autobahn/websocket/protocol.py\n+++ b/src/autobahn/websocket/protocol.py\n@@ -1869,6 +1869,17 @@ class WebSocketProtocol:\n             if self.state == WebSocketProtocol.STATE_OPEN:\n                 self.trafficStats.incomingOctetsWebSocketLevel += compressedLen\n                 self.trafficStats.incomingOctetsAppLevel += uncompressedLen\n+\n+            if self._isMessageCompressed:\n+                self.message_data_total_length += uncompressedLen - compressedLen\n+                if 0 \u003c self.maxMessagePayloadSize \u003c self.message_data_total_length:\n+                    self.wasMaxMessagePayloadSizeExceeded = True\n+                    self._max_message_size_exceeded(\n+                        self.message_data_total_length,\n+                        self.maxMessagePayloadSize,\n+                        f\"received WebSocket message size {self.message_data_total_length} exceeds payload limit of {self.maxMessagePayloadSize} octets\",\n+                    )\n+                    return False\n \n             # incrementally validate UTF-8 payload\n             #\n```\n\n*Reported by Team Atlanta.*",

Only after those checks does Autobahn inflate the payload in `src/autobahn/websocket/protocol.py:1861`; because `max_message_size` is `None`, `src/autobahn/websocket/compress_deflate.py:812` calls zlib without an output cap.

exercise this when the target endpoint accepts permessage-deflate offers and relies on `maxMessagePayloadSize` as its per-message resource limit. The attack sends a valid masked compressed text or data frame with RSV1 set and a compressed length below the configured frame/message caps; those pre-inflate checks pass, and the default accept-object path also bypasses the optional inflater-level `max_message_size` cap because it remains `None`. The user-visible effect is that application handlers may allocate, validate, join, and process inflated messages larger than the configured limit, enabling resource-exhaustion pressure on affected permessage-deflate endpoints. The local artifact demonstrates availability impact only, not confidentiality or integrity compromise.\n\n### Suggested fix\n```001-fix.diff\ndiff --git a/src/autobahn/websocket/protocol.py b/src/autobahn/websocket/protocol.py\nindex 3c060804..4514e3cb 100644\n--- a/src/autobahn/websocket/protocol.py\n+++ b/src/autobahn/websocket/protocol.py\n@@ -1869,6 +1869,17 @@ class WebSocketProtocol:\n             if self.state == WebSocketProtocol.STATE_OPEN:\n                 self.trafficStats.incomingOctetsWebSocketLevel += compressedLen\n                 self.trafficStats.incomingOctetsAppLevel += uncompressedLen\n+\n+            if self._isMessageCompressed:\n+                self.message_data_total_length += uncompressedLen - compressedLen\n+                if 0 \u003c self.maxMessagePayloadSize \u003c self.message_data_total_length:\n+                    self.wasMaxMessagePayloadSizeExceeded = True\n+                    self._max_message_size_exceeded(\n+                        self.message_data_total_length,\n+                        self.maxMessagePayloadSize,\n+                        f\"received WebSocket message size {self.message_data_total_length} exceeds payload limit of {self.maxMessagePayloadSize} octets\",\n+                    )\n+                    return False\n \n             # incrementally validate UTF-8 payload\n             #\n```\n\n*Reported by Team Atlanta.*",
