# CVE-2022-51018: CVE-2022-51018

Status: published. Published: 2026-09-07. Updated: 2026-11-10.

PocketMine-MP before 3.26.5 and 4.0.x before 4.0.5 does not limit book page text length, page count, or author/title length. A player who obtains a writable book can create oversized NBT ('book bombs'), causing excess bandwidth consumption and server crashes (exceeding the 1 MB chunk size limit when saving region-based worlds in PM3, or exceeding the 32 KiB TAG_String limit in PM4).
