Summary

Security: Potential denial of service from unbounded image decoding

Problem

Severity: Medium | File: lib/Service/ImageResizer.php:L22

resizeImage() loads arbitrary image bytes into memory and decodes them without checking input size or dimensions first. If attacker-controlled or remote-fetched image data is very large or crafted, this may cause excessive memory/CPU consumption and degrade service availability.

Solution

Validate input size before decoding (e.g., maximum bytes), enforce pixel/dimension limits, and fail fast on oversized payloads. Prefer safe decoding paths with resource limits and consider rejecting unsupported/complex image formats.

Changes

  • lib/Service/ImageResizer.php (modified)

`resizeImage()` loads arbitrary image bytes into memory and decodes them without checking input size or dimensions first. If attacker-controlled or remote-fetched image data is very large or crafted, this may cause excessive memory/CPU consumption and degrade service availability.
