Description
CodeChecker's massStoreRun processing path performs one-shot decompression of attacker-controlled, Base64-encoded zlib data without enforcing a maximum decompressed size.



An authenticated user with permission to store analysis runs can submit a highly compressed payload that expands to a significantly larger byte sequence. Because the entire decompressed output is materialized in memory before being written to a temporary file, a sufficiently large payload may exhaust process or host memory and consume substantial disk space, resulting in denial of service.

AI Analysis

Impact

The vulnerability lies in CodeChecker's massStoreRun, which performs one‑shot decompression of Base64‑encoded zlib data from an authenticated user. The decompressed output is fully materialized in memory before being written to a temporary file, and no limit is applied to the decompressed size. An attacker who can submit a highly compressed payload that expands to a large byte sequence can thus exhaust process or host memory and consume significant disk space, leading to a denial of service.

Affected Systems

The affected product is Ericsson CodeChecker. No specific version information is supplied in the advisory.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 5.5 indicates moderate severity, and the EPSS score is not available. The vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. The attack requires an authenticated user with permission to store analysis runs, so the attacker must have valid credentials, likely a local or remote authenticated session. Once the large payload is processed, the memory and disk exhaustion symptoms occur, and the system becomes unresponsive. The lack of a publicly known exploit or high EPSS suggests a moderate likelihood of exploitation, but the potential impact remains significant if an attacker gains the required privilege.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Restrict access to massStoreRun by enforcing strict authorization checks before accepting payloads
  • Configure the application to limit the maximum decompressed size or use streaming decompression to avoid memory exhaustion
  • Apply the latest official CodeChecker update or patch when it becomes available
  • Monitor memory and disk usage for abnormal spikes that could indicate an ongoing denial‑of‑service attack
