CVE-2023-25755
Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.
NVD · uneditedScreen Creator Advance 2 Ver.0.1.1.4 Build01A and earlier is vulnerable to improper restriction of operations within the bounds of a memory buffer (CWE-119) due to improper check of its data size when processing a project file. If a user of Screen Creator Advance 2 opens a specially crafted project file, information may be disclosed and/or arbitrary code may be executed.
Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.
dbcve analysis · high confidenceBuffer overflow vulnerability (CWE-119) in Screen Creator Advance 2's project file parsing function due to improper size validation. Opening a specially crafted project file triggers out-of-bounds memory access, enabling information disclosure and potentially arbitrary code execution.
