Severity ?
8.4 (High) - CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:A/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N
7.8 (High) - CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H
CWE
Summary
In Ashlar-Vellum Cobalt, Xenon, Argon, Lithium, and Cobalt Share versions prior to 12.6.1204.204, the affected applications lack proper validation of user-supplied data when parsing CO files. This could lead to an out-of-bounds write. An attacker could leverage this vulnerability to execute arbitrary code in the context of the current process.
