py7zr: Decompression bomb (zip bomb) denial of service via unchecked extraction size

Assigner: GitHub_M
Reserved: 16.06.2026 Published: 08.07.2026 Updated: 09.07.2026

py7zr is a Python-based library and utility to support 7zip archive compression, decompression, encryption and decryption. Prior to 1.1.3, py7zr's Worker.decompress() extracted archive entries without tracking total decompressed size, allowing a crafted .7z file such as a 15.6 KB archive that expands to 100 MB to exhaust disk or memory before extraction completes. This issue is fixed in version 1.1.3.
