CVE-2026-3114: Zip Bomb Denial of Service via Unrestricted Archive Decompression
Noroxi assessment
Priority: Monitor (action score 26/100)
- The sources we track (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, Metasploit, Nuclei, GitHub) show no public exploit code or exploitation in the wild.
- Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 0.35% (FIRST EPSS).
- Anyone who can reach it over the internet can trigger it. A low-privileged account is enough. No user action is required. No special conditions are required; it is repeatable.
- Fixed version: github.com/mattermost/mattermost-server (Go) 10.11.12+incompatible, 11.2.4+incompatible, 11.3.2+incompatible; github.com/mattermost/mattermost/server/v8 (Go) 10.11.12, 11.2.4, 11.3.2.
Low priority for now. Upgrade to github.com/mattermost/mattermost-server (Go) 10.11.12+incompatible, 11.2.4+incompatible, 11.3.2+incompatible; github.com/mattermost/mattermost/server/v8 (Go) 10.11.12, 11.2.4, 11.3.2 or later.

Mattermost versions 11.4.x <= 11.4.0, 11.3.x <= 11.3.1, 11.2.x <= 11.2.3, 10.11.x <= 10.11.11 fail to validate decompressed archive entry sizes during file extraction which allows authenticated users with file upload permissions to cause a denial of service via crafted zip archives containing highly compressed entries (zip bombs) that exhaust server memory..
