CWE-ID: CWE-20 - Improper input validation

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green


The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to cause a denial of service.

The vulnerability exists due to improper input validation in MovePlayerPacket handling when processing serverbound movement packets containing NaN or INF values in position or rotation fields. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted MovePlayerPacket to cause a denial of service.

Malformed rotation values may also prevent clients from seeing other clients correctly, and clients may crash when such values are processed.
