CVE-2022-34272

Status: ModifiedHigh (7.8)—

A vulnerability has been identified in PADS Standard/Plus Viewer (All versions). The affected application is vulnerable to an out of bounds read past the end of an allocated buffer when parsing PCB files. An attacker could leverage this vulnerability to execute code in the context of the current process. (FG-VD-22-037, FG-VD-22-059)

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).
