Improper Handling of Highly Compressed Data (Data Amplification) vulnerability in wojtekmach Req allows attacker-controlled HTTP servers to exhaust memory in a Req client via decompression-bomb response bodies.

Req's default response pipeline includes Req.Steps.decode_body/1 and Req.Steps.decompress_body/1 in lib/req/steps.ex. decode_body/1 dispatches on the server-supplied content-type (or URL extension) and calls :zip.extract(body, [:memory]) for application/zip, :erl_tar.extract({:binary, body}, [:memory]) for application/x-tar, and :erl_tar.extract({:binary, body}, [:memory, :compressed]) for application/gzip / .tgz. Each returns the full decompressed archive contents as a [{name, bytes}] list in memory, with no per-entry or total size cap. decompress_body/1 walks the content-encoding header and chains :zlib/:brotli/:ezstd decoders, so a response advertising content-encoding: gzip, gzip, gzip inflates through multiple layers without bound.

Both steps are enabled by default, no caller opt-in is required, and the attacker controls the content-type and content-encoding headers on their own server (or on any host reached via Req's automatic redirect following). A sub-megabyte response can expand to multiple gigabytes on the victim, crashing the BEAM process.

This issue affects req: from 0.1.0 before 0.6.1.

Affected: Hex: req

### Summary

Req's default response pipeline auto-decodes archive and compressed bodies based on the server-supplied `content-type` (or URL extension) and materialises the full decompressed contents in memory with no size cap. An attacker who controls (or can redirect a victim into) an HTTP endpoint reached by `Req.get!/1` can return a tiny "decompression bomb" that expands to many gigabytes on the client and exhausts the BEAM's memory.

### Details

**1. Archive auto-decoding.** `Req.Steps.decode_body/1` in `lib/req/steps.ex` dispatches on the response `content-type` (or URL extension) and calls Erlang's archive libraries with `:memory`, returning a `[{name, bytes}]` list of every entry fully decompressed in RAM: `application/zip` → `:zip.extract(body, [:memory])`, `application/x-tar` → `:erl_tar.extract({:binary, body}, [:memory])`, `application/gzip` / `.tgz` → `:erl_tar.extract({:binary, body}, [:memory, :compressed])`. No byte cap is enforced before decoding and no per-entry size limit is passed to `:zip` / `:erl_tar`.

**2. content-encoding chaining.** `Req.Steps.decompress_body/1` walks the `content-encoding` header and chains `:zlib` / `:brotli` / `:ezstd` decoders, so a response advertising `content-encoding: gzip, gzip, gzip, …` inflates through multiple layers without bound.

**3. Default-on, attacker-chosen decoder.** Both steps are part of Req's default pipeline. The caller does not need to opt in, and the attacker chooses which decoder fires by setting `content…
