Summary

PocketMine-MP before 4.18.0-ALPHA2 fails to rate-limit mismatch type InventoryTransactionPacket requests, allowing attackers to trigger excessive inventory synchronization. Attackers can send numerous mismatch transactions to force the server to transmit large amounts of serialized inventory data, consuming significant bandwidth without authentication.

Risk Assessment

The risk is that an unauthenticated attacker can remotely overload the server's network, leading to increased bandwidth consumption and potential service unavailability.

Recommendation

It is recommended to update PocketMine-MP to version 4.18.0-ALPHA2 or later, which introduces rate limiting for such requests.
