MITRE ATT&CK
1 technique across 1 tactic: Execution The technique list with ATT&CK links and the kill-chain view is part of the Basic plan and up. |
| Exploitation Conditions | Exploitation requires local access to a system where radare2 is installed and the ability to execute it with low privileges (e.g., a standard user account). The vulnerability is triggered by invoking the pb (print binary) command within radare2 with crafted input that causes integer overflow in the cmd_print handler - no special system configuration, elevated privileges, or specific compilation options are required beyond having a vulnerable version of radare2 available. Remote exploitation is not possible per AV:L in the CVSS 4.0 vector. Integrity and confidentiality are unaffected (VC:N/VI:N per CVSS 4.0); impact is confined to crashing the radare2 process. The primary exploitation limit is the local-only attack vector, meaning network-exposed systems are not at risk unless radare2 is invoked as part of an automated remote analysis pipeline. |
| Impact | The CVSS 4.0 score of 4.8 with vector AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N reflects realistic risk: local access and low privileges are required, and impact is limited to VA:L (low availability on the vulnerable system only) with no confidentiality or integrity impact. The E:P modifier confirms publicly available POC, which lowers exploitation effort but does not elevate scope. No EPSS score was provided in the input data, and the vulnerability is not listed in CISA KEV, indicating no confirmed widespread active exploitation. The real-world risk is narrow: it primarily threatens security analysts who run radare2 against untrusted or attacker-controlled binaries, where the tool crash could interrupt analysis workflows. This is not a priority for general enterprise patching but is relevant to security teams and CTF/malware analysis environments where radare2 is actively used. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | A local low-privileged user, or a crafted binary designed to elicit specific analysis commands, supplies malformed input to radare2's pb print command within an interactive session or automated analysis script. The crafted input triggers an integer overflow in the cmd_print function, corrupting internal state and causing radare2 to crash. A publicly available POC demonstrating this behavior is referenced in GitHub issue https://github.com/radareorg/radare2/issues/26048, confirming the attack is reproducible with minimal effort. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Jul 06, 2026
Integer overflow in radare2's pb Print Command Handler affects all versions through 6.1.6, exploitable locally by a low-privileged user to crash the radare2 process. The flaw resides in the cmd_print function within libr/core/cmd_print.inc and results in availability impact only - no confidentiality or integrity loss is indicated. Publicly available exploit code exists per the GitHub issue tracker, though no active exploitation has been confirmed via CISA KEV.
RemediationAI
Apply the upstream patch commit 2b6265476c75567006b0fcbb749f4ae7b189c5df, available at https://github.com/phix33/radare2/commit/2b6265476c75567006b0fcbb749f4ae7b189c5df. Note that this is a commit-level fix; a corresponding tagged stable release version is not confirmed in the available data, so users should build from the patched commit or monitor the official radare2 repository at https://github.com/radareorg/radare2/ for a versioned release. As a compensating control until a patched release is available, avoid invoking the pb print command against untrusted or externally-sourced input. Users who routinely analyze potentially malicious binaries should consider running radare2 in an isolated sandbox or container to limit the impact of a tool crash.

Technical ContextAI · show details
radare2 is an open-source, command-line reverse engineering framework widely used by security researchers and malware analysts for binary analysis, disassembly, and debugging. The vulnerable component is the pb (print binary) command handler, implemented in the cmd_print function within libr/core/cmd_print.inc. CWE-190 (Integer Overflow or Wraparound) describes the root cause: an arithmetic operation produces a value exceeding the maximum representable integer, causing incorrect memory size calculations that can lead to buffer misalignment or an out-of-bounds memory condition - consistent with the 'Buffer Overflow' tag alongside 'Integer Overflow' in the intelligence data. The affected CPE is cpe:2.3:a:radareorg:radare2:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*, covering all radare2 releases up to and including version 6.1.6.

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.
Integer overflow occurs when an arithmetic operation produces a result that exceeds the maximum value a given integer type can store.
