CVE-2022-51010

PocketMine-MP versions before 4.4.2 fail to properly validate item IDs received from clients in itemstack NBT data. Attackers can send crafted item IDs outside the valid range to trigger an uncaught exception that crashes the server.

PocketMine-MP versions before 4.4.2 fail to properly validate item IDs received from clients in itemstack NBT data. Attackers can send crafted item IDs outside the valid range to trigger an uncaught exception that crashes the server.

Impact

Due to a workaround for unmapped network items implemented in 4.0.0-BETA5 (8ac16345a3bc099b62c1f5cfbf3b736e621c3f76), arbitrary item IDs are able to be written into an item's NBT. The intended purpose of this is to make said unmapped network items able to be moved around the inventory without issues.

This led to an exploit due to internal limits on the range that item IDs can occupy (-32768 - 32767), while the tag type used to represent the replacement IDs for unknown items is a TAG_Int, allowing a range from -(2^31) - 2^31 - 1. This leads to an uncaught exception which crashes the server.

Patches

5fd685e07d61ef670584ed11a52fd5f4b99a81a7

Workarounds

In theory this can be checked by plugins using a custom TypeConverter, but this is likely to be very cumbersome.
