Denial-of-service attack vectors in OpenRGB's unauthenticated TCP network protocol server (listening on 0.0.0.0:6742) allow any network-reachable attacker to crash or resource-exhaust the OpenRGB daemon without authentication. CVE-2026-18794 covers multiple DoS paths rooted in absent input-size validation - the server performs uncapped memory allocations from attacker-controlled length fields and passes raw network data to string constructors without null-termination checks. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | The OpenRGB server must be running and TCP port 6742 must be reachable by the attacker - either over the network (if host or network firewall rules allow it) or via localhost (always accessible to any local user regardless of firewall). … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | CVE-2026-18794 presents a meaningful real-world risk for any deployment where TCP port 6742 is network-reachable. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | An attacker with access to TCP port 6742 - remotely if firewall rules permit, or locally via localhost - connects without any authentication and sends a crafted NetPacketHeader specifying a pkt_size value that drives an enormous or pathological memory allocation in the server's parsing loop. The OpenRGB daemon, running as root under 'Restart=always', crashes and is immediately restarted, enabling repeated cycling. … |
| Remediation | Upgrade to OpenRGB 1.0rc3-hotfix (Hotfix 1), which upstream states addresses the worst aspects of the flaws in this report; see https://openrgb.org for the release. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
