Technical details
The Ods::processTableRow method in src/PhpSpreadsheet/Reader/Ods.php fails to validate the table:number-rows-repeated attribute, allowing an attacker to specify an arbitrarily large repetition count. When a row contains a value, the reader materializes a cell for every repetition without checking against the spreadsheet row limit, causing unbounded memory and CPU consumption. A small ODS file can trigger a denial-of-service condition on the PHP worker.
Affected products
- PHPOffice PhpSpreadsheet before 1.30.7, 2.1.19, 2.4.8, 3.10.8, and 5.10.0
