Summary

PocketMine-MP before 3.26.5 and 4.0.x before 4.0.5 does not limit book page text length, page count, or author/title length. A player who obtains a writable book can create oversized NBT ('book bombs'), causing excess bandwidth consumption and server crashes (exceeding the 1 MB chunk size limit when saving region-based worlds in PM3, or exceeding the 32 KiB TAG_String limit in PM4).

Risk Assessment

Risk of server overload and service disruption for all players, potentially leading to significant downtime.

Recommendation

It is recommended to update PocketMine-MP to version 3.26.5 or later (for PM3) and to version 4.0.5 or later (for PM4) to limit book sizes and prevent attacks.
