MongooseIM versions up to 1.3.1 rev. 2 are susceptible to a denial of service attack due to inadequate restrictions when processing compressed XML elements. This vulnerability enables attackers to exploit the XMPP stream by sending specially crafted messages, leading to excessive resource consumption on the affected system, effectively rendering it unresponsive. The issue, also referred to as an 'xmppbomb' attack, demonstrates the critical need for robust input validation within XML processing to mitigate potential exploitation.
