CVE-2018-25212

Status: AnalyzedHigh (8.6)—

Boxoft wav-wma Converter 1.0 contains a local buffer overflow vulnerability in structured exception handling that allows attackers to execute arbitrary code by crafting malicious WAV files. Attackers can create a specially crafted WAV file with excessive data and ROP gadgets to overwrite the SEH chain and achieve code execution on Windows systems.

CVSS

Exploitation probability (EPSS)

EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System, FIRST) estimates how likely a vulnerability is to be exploited in the wild within 30 days. It complements CVSS (impact) and CISA KEV (confirmed exploitation).

🎯 ATT&CK techniques

How this vulnerability is exploited and what the attacker gains, in MITRE ATT&CK terms.

Buffer overflow local (AV:L, PR:N, UI:N) en procesamiento de archivos WAV permite ejecutar código arbitrario mediante ROP gadgets sin interacción del usuario, cumpliendo T1068 e impactando en T1059.

Inferred by our analysis agent from the official description, CVSS vector and CWE, and checked by a supervisor. May contain errors.
