Tandoor Recipes versions before 2.6.5 can crash or slow down significantly when an authenticated user uploads a specially crafted large ZIP file during recipe import. This allows someone with login access to disrupt the service for other users.
Technical detail

An authenticated attacker can upload a ZIP bomb to exhaust server resources (CPU, memory, or disk I/O), causing denial of service.
