Does this matter?

High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (0.22%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.

Description

PocketMine-MP versions before 5.3.1 and 4.23.1 fail to validate that the identityPublicKey in LoginPacket uses the required secp384r1 elliptic curve. Attackers can provide LoginPackets with keys using different curves or non-EC key types to pass login verification but trigger an uncaught exception during ECDH key derivation, crashing the server.
