High CVSS 7.8
CVE-2026-71266
NVD analysis in progress
tinyobjloader-c's tinyobj_parse_and_index_mtl_file (tinyobj_loader_c.h) reads each line of a .mtl material file into a fixed 4096-byte stack buffer via memcpy(linebuf, p, p_len), guarded only by . The identical vulnerable pattern is duplicated in a second function in the same file.
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
- 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.
