This vulnerability is classified as Out-of-bounds Write (CWE-787), which allows attackers to write data beyond allocated buffer boundaries leading to code execution or crashes. PassFab RAR Password Recovery 9.3.2 contains a structured exception handler (SEH) buffer overflow vulnerability that allows local attackers to execute arbitrary code by supplying a malicious payload. Attackers can craft a payload with a buffer overflow, NSEH jump, and shellcode, then paste it into the 'Licensed E-mail and Registration Code' field during registration to trigger code execution. Affected products include: Passfab Rar Password Recovery.

Executive ViewAI
Organizations using PassFab RAR Password Recovery 9.3.2 face significant risk from CVE-2018-25218, a out-of-bounds write vulnerability rated CVSS 8.6. Exploitation could allow attackers to corrupt memory, crash the application, or potentially execute arbitrary code. Proof-of-concept code is publicly available, increasing the risk of exploitation. Organizations should apply vendor updates when available and consider compensating controls in the interim.
Apply vendor patch. If immediate patching is not feasible: (1) Enable ASLR and DEP where available; (2) Implement network segmentation; (3) Monitor for exploitation indicators.

How this decision was reached
The engine reads each signal below and applies a fixed list of rules from top to bottom. The first rule that matches sets the recommended action – like a statement, every line is shown.
What every action level means
SSVC AssessmentENISA
Priority Score
Attack Technique
A buffer overflow occurs when a program writes more data to a memory buffer than it was allocated to hold, causing the excess data to spill into adjacent memory regions.
Memory corruption occurs when a program writes data beyond the boundaries of allocated memory regions or accesses memory in unintended ways, violating the integrity of the process's address space.
Remote Code Execution represents the critical moment when an attacker successfully runs arbitrary code on a target system without physical access.
