AI Analysis

Impact

PocketMine-MP versions prior to 5.43.1 allow an attacker to trigger a server crash by taking advantage of an uninitialized property that occurs when the Certificate field is not properly validated during offline login authentication. The flaw results in an uninitialized property access error that brings the server down, causing a denial of service. The nature of the weakness is an improper input validation that leads to code failure, classified under CWE-184.

Affected Systems

The affected product is PocketMine-MP from pmmp, specifically all releases before version 5.43.1. Users running those earlier builds are susceptible to the crash whenever an unauthenticated player logs in.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 8.7 indicates a high severity. Although an EPSS score is not available, the lack of a listed KEV suggests this flaw is not currently exploited on a large scale. The likely attack vector is local or external, requiring an unauthenticated player to initiate an offline login; thus any player who can reach the server can trigger the crash, making this a viable denial of service vector if the server is exposed to untrusted networks.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade PocketMine-MP to version 5.43.1 or later to apply the certificate validation fix
  • Configure the server to reject offline login attempts unless the client is authenticated, possibly by disabling the feature or adding a custom filter in the server configuration
  • Restrict unauthenticated access by configuring firewall or access control lists to limit connections to trusted IP ranges until the system is patched
