AI-suggested

Upgrade PocketMine-MP to version 5.39.2 or later, where this vulnerability is fixed by limiting JSON payload size in ModalFormResponsePacket handling. No other mitigation is indicated.

Description

CVE-2026-86204 is a high-severity vulnerability in PocketMine-MP before version 5.39.2. It allows authenticated players to send oversized JSON payloads in ModalFormResponsePacket handling, leading to uncontrolled resource consumption. This can exhaust server memory and CPU, causing denial of service and making the server unresponsive.

Impact

An attacker with authentication can cause denial of service by sending large JSON payloads in modal form response packets, exhausting server memory and CPU resources. This disrupts normal server operation and availability.

Summary

PocketMine-MP versions prior to 5.39.2 do not limit the size of JSON payloads in handling ModalFormResponsePacket. Authenticated users can exploit this by sending modal form response packets containing very large JSON arrays, which results in excessive consumption of server memory and CPU resources. This vulnerability can cause denial of service by rendering the server unresponsive due to resource exhaustion.
