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 · unedited
There is an out of bounds read vulnerability in NI LabVIEW in LVResFile::FindRsrcListEntry() when parsing a corrupted VI file. This vulnerability may result in information disclosure or arbitrary code execution. Successful exploitation requires an attacker to get a user to open a specially crafted VI. This vulnerability affects NI LabVIEW 2025 Q3 (25.3) and prior versions.

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 confidence

An out-of-bounds read vulnerability exists in NI LabVIEW's LVResFile::FindRsrcListEntry() function when parsing corrupted VI files. The function fails to properly validate buffer boundaries while processing resource list entries, allowing memory reads outside allocated buffers. This can leak sensitive memory contents or potentially enable arbitrary code execution when a user opens a specially crafted malicious VI file.

MitigationDo not open VI files from untrusted or unverified sources. Apply vendor patches when released and consider deploying endpoint detection or application sandboxing to intercept suspicious file operations.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.

dbcve checks

Work through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.

  1. Identify installed LabVIEW version
    Check the LabVIEW installation via Windows Add/Remove Programs, or open LabVIEW and navigate to Help > About NI LabVIEW. The version number is displayed there.
    Affected if The installed version is 2022, 2023, 2024, or 2025.
  2. Locate LabVIEW executable to confirm installation
    Search for LabVIEW executables in typical installation directories such as C:\Program Files\National Instruments\LabVIEW [version]\ or verify via the Windows registry under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\National Instruments\LabVIEW.
    Affected if LabVIEW executables are found and version matches affected range.
  3. Determine if VI file handling is active
    Check if the system or user workflow involves opening .vi files, particularly from external sources, network shares, or email attachments. Examine file association settings for .vi files pointing to installed LabVIEW versions.
    Affected if Users routinely open VI files from untrusted or external sources using the affected LabVIEW installation.
  4. Check for suspicious VI file processing
    Review any available application logs, endpoint detection logs, or sandbox reports for evidence of LabVIEW processing unusual or corrupted VI files. Monitor for file access events on .vi files.
    Affected if Evidence exists of LabVIEW opening malformed or untrusted VI files.

A system is affected if NI LabVIEW version 2022, 2023, 2024, or 2025 is installed and users can open potentially untrusted or malicious VI files with that installation.

Mitigation

Do not open VI files from untrusted or unverified sources. Apply vendor patches when released and consider deploying endpoint detection or application sandboxing to intercept suspicious file operations.
