PH20342: EXCEL TEST DATA FILE FAILS TO LOAD WITH ZIP BOMB ERROR

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Some Excel files fail to work in RIT.
  In the Test Data editor in Test Factory, when you select the
  file and click Refresh to display some rows the following error
  occurs:
  
  Error loading the selected file 'file.xlsx". Zip bomb detected!
  The file would exceed the max. ratio of compressed file size to
  the size of the expanded data.
  This may indicate that the file is used to inflate memory usage
  and thus could pose a security risk.
  You can adjust this limit via ZipSecureFile.setMinInflateRatio()
  if you need to work with files which exceed this limit.
  
  A similar error is seen when attempting to access the test data
  in a test or stub.
  Uncompressed size: 794745, Raw/compressed size: 7946, ratio:
  0.009998
  Limits: MIN_INFLATE_RATIO: 0.010000, Entry: xl/styles.xml
