RTPS is network-reachable with no auth or interaction (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N); OOB read yields limited info disclosure (C:L) and likely process crash of the DDS endpoint (A:H), no integrity impact.
Primary rating from Vendor (RTI).

Lifecycle Timeline
1DescriptionCVE.org
Out-of-bounds Read vulnerability in RTI Connext Micro (Core Libraries) allows Overread Buffers.This issue affects Connext Micro: from 4.0.0 before 4.3.0.
AnalysisAI
Out-of-bounds read in RTI Connext Micro Core Libraries (versions 4.0.0 up to but not including 4.3.0) allows remote unauthenticated attackers to read beyond allocated buffer boundaries, leading to limited information disclosure and a high availability impact (likely process crash of the DDS middleware). No public exploit identified at time of analysis, and the issue is not listed in CISA KEV. The CVSS 4.0 base score of 8.8 reflects network reachability of the DDS protocol stack with no privileges or user interaction required.
Technical ContextAI
RTI Connext Micro is a compact implementation of the OMG Data Distribution Service (DDS) standard, designed for resource-constrained and embedded real-time systems such as avionics, automotive, medical devices, and industrial control. It implements the RTPS (Real-Time Publish-Subscribe) wire protocol over UDP for peer-to-peer data exchange. CWE-125 (Out-of-bounds Read) in the Core Libraries indicates the parser or serialization layer reads memory past the end of an intended buffer - typically because a length field, sequence count, or type discriminator from an inbound RTPS message is trusted without sufficient validation. The affected CPE cpe:2.3:a:rti:connext_micro covers the Connext Micro product family rather than a specific edition.
RemediationAI
Upgrade RTI Connext Micro to version 4.3.0 or later, which is the first version outside the affected range per the vendor's own range specification (Vendor-released patch: 4.3.0; consult https://www.rti.com/vulnerabilities/#cve-2026-30802 for the definitive fixed build). Where an in-place upgrade is not immediately possible on embedded targets, compensating controls should include restricting RTPS traffic (UDP, default discovery ports 7400/7401 plus user-traffic ports) to a known allow-list of participant IPs via host or network firewall, placing DDS domains on a dedicated VLAN isolated from general IT networks, and enabling RTI's transport-level security or DDS Security plugins if licensed - each of which adds configuration overhead and, in the case of DDS Security, non-trivial CPU/latency cost on constrained nodes. Disabling or filtering multicast discovery and pinning to unicast peer lists also reduces the attack surface but breaks dynamic discovery scenarios.
