CVE-2022-43602
Status: ModifiedHigh (8.1)—
Multiple code execution vulnerabilities exist in the IFFOutput::close() functionality of OpenImageIO Project OpenImageIO v2.4.4.2. A specially crafted ImageOutput Object can lead to a heap buffer overflow. An attacker can provide malicious input to trigger these vulnerabilities.This vulnerability arises when the `ymax` variable is set to 0xFFFF and `m_spec.format` is `TypeDesc::UINT8`
CVSS
- Version: 3.1
- Vector: CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H
- Base score: 8.1
Exploitation probability (EPSS)
- Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 2.00%
- Percentile among all scored CVEs: 80
- Score date: 10/7/2026
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).
