Protocol Buffers FieldMask paths materialization DoS PoC

This repository contains a benign security research PoC for a .pb artifact that drives repeated-string materialization during field_mask_pb2.FieldMask.ParseFromString(...).

Files:

  • control_one_path.pb
  • malicious_paths_5000000.pb
  • reproduce.py

Observed behavior:

  • control artifact:
    • parses successfully with one paths entry
  • malicious artifact:
    • parses successfully with 5,000,000 paths entries
    • materially increases peak RSS during normal parse

Tested runtime:

python3 -m pip install protobuf==7.35.1
