  • Goodmorning

    using the function excelreadcellsbyname in file more than 500kb i get the error below:

    ERROR com.appiancorp.ps.exceltools.util.ExcelHelperUtils - Zip bomb detected! The file would exceed the max. ratio of compressed file size to the size of the expanded data.

    Please could you fix the plugin?

    Thank You

  • There is nothing to fix, it is working as expected. The error is coming from Apache POI. Please refer to their documentation for potential fixes to your excel file.

    I would also suggest trying the readexcelsheetpaging function.

  • Hello Mike,

    Thank You for your answer. Ii know this error coming from POI but in the plug in version 2.2.11 i didn't get the Zip Bomb error.

    The reason is in the setting for this variable that by default in the version 2.2.14 shoud be 0.01.

    ZipSecureFile.setMinInflateRatio();

     If possible could you set this variable to 0 or with the same value used in the version 2.2.11?.
