An issue in TokTok qTox v1.18.4 allows a local attacker to cause a denial of service via the src/persistence/serialize.cpp component

AnalysisAI

Denial of service in qTox v1.18.4 lets an attacker crash the client through the profile-serialization code in src/persistence/serialize.cpp, classified as uncontrolled resource consumption (CWE-400). The description scopes this to a local attacker requiring victim interaction, and SSVC records a proof-of-concept, so publicly available exploit code exists; it is not listed in CISA KEV and EPSS is low (0.13%, 3rd percentile), indicating no evidence of widespread exploitation. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Exploitation targets the profile/state deserialization path in qTox 1.18.4's src/persistence/serialize.cpp and requires the victim to load attacker-crafted serialized data - the CVSS vector's UI:R confirms user interaction is required, which is the primary limiting factor. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The signals conflict and should be reconciled before prioritizing. … 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 No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis: the only upstream reference is the bug report at https://github.com/TokTok/qTox/issues/706, which is an issue rather than a tagged release or merged fix, and no fixed version is provided in the data. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.

Recommended ActionAI

Within 24 hours: issue a communication to all qTox users warning against opening untrusted profile files and attachments; document qTox v1.18.4 deployment scope across the organization. …
