In schreibfaul1 ESP32-audioI2S 3.4.5, a heap-based buffer overflow vulnerability exists in the ID3 tag parsing function showID3Tag() of the embedded audio streaming library. The program reads untrusted long ID3 tag value from malicious audio files and uses unbounded appendf() to write formatted strings into ps_ptr heap buffer without length validation. Successful exploitation allows attackers to execute arbitrary code, leak sensitive memory data, cause device crash, or escalate privileges via a crafted malicious audio file.
AnalysisAI
We are tasked with producing a comprehensive JSON analysis for CVE-2026-51273. We have multiple intelligence sources: mitre (CVE description, CVSS, CWE, references), tags, SSVC, ENISA EUVD. The input provides the CVE ID, description, CVSS score, vector, CWE, and multi-source intel including CPE, references, tags, SSVC, and EUVD data. We must synthesize all this into a JSON object with the specified fields, each a plain text string.
First, let's parse all the given data:
- CVE ID: CVE-2026-51273
- Description: "In schreibfaul1 ESP32-audioI2S 3.4.5, a heap-based buffer overflow vulnerability exists in the ID3 tag parsing function showID3Tag() of the embedded audio streaming library. The program reads untrusted long ID3 tag value from malicious audio files and uses unbounded appendf() to write formatted strings into ps_ptr heap buffer without length validation. Successful exploitation allows attackers to execute arbitrary code, leak sensitive memory data, cause device crash, or escalate privileges via a crafted malicious audio file."
- CVSS Score: 7.8
- CVSS Vector: CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H
- CWE: CWE-122 (Heap-based Buffer Overflow)
- Reported by mitre.
- CPE (affected products): cpe:2.3:a:n/a:n/a:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:* (this is a placeholder; the real product is schreibfaul1 ESP32-audioI2S, but CPE string is given as "n/a:n/a"). So product is "ESP32-audioI2S" by schreibfaul1. But the CPE doesn't provide a proper string; we'll note that in confidence_notes.
- Tags: RCE, Buffer Overflow, N A, Heap Overflow
- SSVC: Exploitation: poc, Automatable: no, Technical Impact: total. So a proof-of-concept exists, but exploitation is not automatable.
- ENISA EUVD: EUVD-2026-49928, affected versions: ["n/a n/a"] (again placeholder). So no specific version range from EUVD, but description says version 3.4.5 is affected.
