Protocol Buffers Type fields materialization DoS PoC

This repository contains a benign security research PoC for a .pb artifact that drives repeated-message materialization during type_pb2.Type.ParseFromString(...).

Files:

control artifact:
- parses successfully with no fields entries
malicious artifact:
- parses successfully with 5,000,000 fields entries
- materially increases peak RSS during normal parse

Tested runtime:

python3 -m pip install protobuf==7.35.1
