Technical details
The vulnerability is a resource-exhaustion flaw in the thumbnail handler (`server/apiv1/thumbnails.go`) that processes image attachments via the `GET /api/v1/message/{id}/part/{partID}/thumb` endpoint. The handler calls `imaging.Decode()` on untrusted attachment content before checking decoded pixel dimensions or memory budget, resulting in unbounded raster allocation. A malicious PNG can declare 4096×4096 dimensions (67 MB decoded) while remaining only 65 KB compressed; the endpoint then allocates and decodes the full image before scaling to the fixed 180×120 output size. The default message-size controls do not prevent this because they limit encoded message bytes, not decoded raster size. The endpoint is reachable by unauthenticated clients on default deployments, and opening image attachments in the web UI automatically triggers the vulnerable path. Patch version 1.30.4 adds dimension and pixel-budget checks before full image decode.
