Impact
Grav content management system versions prior to 2.0.1 contain a decompression bomb flaw in ZipArchiver::extract() that does not set limits on how much uncompressed data can be created. This weakness allows an attacker to supply a specially constructed ZIP archive that expands to consume all available storage, thereby triggering application or server outages. The flaw is classified as an uncontrolled resource consumption weakness, identified as CWE-409.
Affected Systems
The vulnerability affects the Grav CMS from the vendor getgrav. All releases before version 2.0.1 are impacted; users must be running a vulnerable Grav instance at risk when the system processes uploaded or extracted ZIP archives.
Risk and Exploitability
The CVSS score is 7.1, indicating high severity for denial‑of‑service effects. The EPSS score is below 1 %, implying a very low likelihood of exploitation at the moment. The vulnerability has not been listed in the CISA KEV catalog. Attackers would need to supply a malicious ZIP file to the Grav interface or API; once processed, the lack of size, file count, or nesting depth checks allows them to exhaust disk space, potentially bringing services to a halt.
