CVE-2018-25222

Status: DeferredHigh (8.6)—

SC v7.16 contains a stack-based buffer overflow vulnerability that allows local attackers to execute arbitrary code by supplying oversized input that exceeds buffer boundaries. Attackers can craft malicious input strings exceeding 1052 bytes to overwrite the instruction pointer and execute shellcode in the application context.

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) permite ejecución de código arbitrario. CVSS muestra VC:H/VI:H/VA:H confirmando impacto crítico en integridad y confidencialidad sin requisitos de privilegios previos.

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