High CVSS 7.8
CVE-2026-57251
The application opens a PDF, but the cloud-like appearance of the construction process lacks proper setting of an upper limit and consistency checks. Out-of-bounds access to the underlying array is exposed, ultimately leading to a crash of the application.
What this means
- Exposure
- Exploitable with local access to the machine and without authentication — but only if a user opens booby-trapped content.
- Impact
- An attacker can read sensitive data, modify or destroy data and take the service offline.
- Weakness
- An unvalidated array index allows reads or writes outside the array.
- Likelihood
- Its EPSS score stays low: nothing points to imminent exploitation, which is no reason to leave it unpatched.
