High CVSS 7.1
CVE-2026-52584
NVD analysis in progress
Buffer Overflow vulnerability in libjxl v.0.11.2 and before allows a local attacker to obtain sensitive information via the DecodeImageAPNG function
What this means
- Exposure
- Exploitable with local access to the machine, with an ordinary user account and with no action from the victim.
- Impact
- An attacker can read sensitive data and take the service offline.
- Weakness
- A stack overflow overwrites the return address, which often leads to code execution.
- Likelihood
- Its EPSS score stays low: nothing points to imminent exploitation, which is no reason to leave it unpatched.
