DescriptionCVE.org

OriginLab Origin Viewer OGW File Parsing Memory Corruption Remote Code Execution Vulnerability. This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on affected installations of OriginLab Origin Viewer. User interaction is required to exploit this vulnerability in that the target must visit a malicious page or open a malicious file.

The specific flaw exists within the parsing of OGW files. The issue results from the lack of proper validation of user-supplied data, which can result in a memory corruption condition. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to execute code in the context of the current process. Was ZDI-CAN-29338.

AnalysisAI

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Exploitation requires that the target user open a malicious OGW file using OriginLab Origin Viewer 9.9.5 - either by directly opening a downloaded file or by visiting a web page that triggers the viewer. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The CVSS 3.0 base score of 7.8 reflects a local attack vector (AV:L), low complexity (AC:L), no required privileges (PR:N), mandatory user interaction (UI:R), and full high-impact triad (C:H/I:H/A:H) - consistent with a file-based RCE requiring a user to open a malicious document. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario Full exploit scenario with step-by-step reproduction available after sign-in.
Remediation Consult the OriginLab vendor advisory at https://docs.originlab.com/cve/CVE-2026-18294 for the official patched release - a specific fixed version number is not independently confirmed from the available input data, so verify the advisory directly before deploying. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.

Recommended ActionAI

Within 24 hours, inventory all systems running OriginLab Origin Viewer and identify user populations who handle OGW files from external sources; issue security alert instructing users to avoid opening untrusted OGW files and to report suspicious file delivery attempts. …
