CyberRota Analysis

AI-Generated

PocketMine-MP versions prior to 3.27.0 are vulnerable due to a lack of encryption in the Minecraft Bedrock protocol, allowing attackers to capture and replay valid login tokens from players. This vulnerability enables impersonation of victims, potentially compromising their XBOX Live authentication for a duration of 2-3 days. Server administrators, particularly those with directly accessible servers lacking encryption, should prioritize upgrading to version 4.0.0 or the patched 3.27.0 to mitigate this risk.

Original NVD Description

PocketMine-MP 3.x (before 3.27.0) does not implement Minecraft Bedrock protocol encryption, so the server cannot verify that a connecting client possesses the private key corresponding to its login token. An attacker who captures a valid login from another player's session (for example by tricking the player into connecting to an attacker-controlled server) can replay that login to impersonate the victim and pass XBOX Live authentication until the JWT token expires (typically 2-3 days). This affects servers directly reachable over the internet that are not behind a proxy with encryption enabled. Fixed in 4.0.0 and backported to 3.27.0.
