CVE-2026-32630 PUBLISHED

file-type affected by ZIP Decompression Bomb DoS via [Content_Types].xml entry

Assigner: GitHub_M
Reserved: 12.03.2026 Published: 13.03.2026 Updated: 13.03.2026

file-type detects the file type of a file, stream, or data. From 20.0.0 to 21.3.1, a crafted ZIP file can trigger excessive memory growth during type detection in file-type when using fileTypeFromBuffer(), fileTypeFromBlob(), or fileTypeFromFile(). The ZIP inflate output limit is enforced for stream-based detection, but not for known-size inputs. As a result, a small compressed ZIP can cause file-type to inflate and process a much larger payload while probing ZIP-based formats such as OOXML. This vulnerability is fixed in 21.3.2.
