### Summary The decompression-bomb bound added in 2.0.1 (commit 1c1003c) sums `ZipArchive::statIndex($i)['size']` and rejects an archive whose declared uncompressed total exceeds `system.gpm.archive.max_uncompressed_size` (default 1 GiB) before extracting (`ZipArchiver.php:77-86`; same logic in `GPM\Installer::unZip` at `Installer.php:228-238`). `statIndex()['size']` is the uncompressed size declared in the ZIP central directory, which is attacker-forgeable and is not checked against the actual inflated stream. An archive declaring 1 byte per entry passes the cap while `extractTo()` writes the real (large) content. The entry-count and nesting-depth caps count real structure and still hold; only the size dimension is defeated, so the disk-fill / inode-exhaustion case the bound targets is not prevented. Incomplete fix for GHSA-928x-9mpw-8h56. ### Details `extract()`/`unZip()` validate every entry up front, then call `Folder::create` + `extractTo`. The size check is: ```php $totalSize += (int) $stat['size']; // declared central-directory size if ($maxSize > 0 && $totalSize > $maxSize) { ... reject ... } ``` `$stat['size']` is read from the central directory, which the ar

What to do next
- vendor patch
The original advisory lists fixed boundaries 2.0.2 for getgrav/grav. Confirm the publisher’s latest guidance.
Confirm current vendor support, compatibility and deployment evidence. This report has not tested a fix in your system. GitHub Advisory Database via OSV
- investigate
Identify the exact component and deployed version, examine the linked publisher’s conditions, and retain evidence of any mitigation.
Confirm current vendor support, compatibility and deployment evidence. This report has not tested a fix in your system. FIRST EPSS
A fixed release is not deployment evidence.
Check current vendor support and compatibility. After making a change, verify the deployed build and relevant runtime conditions. Keep the evidence, owner and time. An updated lockfile alone does not prove what is running.
