AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H
Reachable over the network only when wrapped in a file-parsing webservice, but a malicious file must still be supplied to the parser, so UI:R; native memory corruption justifies high C/I/A.

Impact
Prior to version 6.2.9 resdata would not correctly validate input in GRDECL files. The severity rating assumes that resdata is used to parse untrused files in a networking context such as a webservice.
Patches
The bug has been patched starting with version 6.2.9.
AnalysisAI
Memory-corruption in Equinor's resdata library before 6.2.9 lets a crafted GRDECL reservoir-model file trigger a classic buffer overflow, out-of-bounds read, improper array indexing, and NULL-pointer dereference during parsing. Any application that feeds untrusted GRDECL input to resdata - the maintainer explicitly rates the 9.8 severity for a networked webservice that parses attacker-supplied files - is exposed to memory corruption that can lead to crashes, information disclosure, or potentially code execution. …

Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Exploitation requires that the target application parse an attacker-controlled GRDECL file with resdata prior to 6.2.9; the specific trigger is malformed GRDECL keyword data (unbounded keyword size, or out-of-range corsnum/actnum array indices) that the parser fails to validate. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The signals conflict and must be read together. … 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 | Vendor-released patch: 6.2.9 - upgrade the resdata package to 6.2.9 or later (pip install --upgrade 'resdata>=6.2.9'); see the release at https://github.com/equinor/resdata/releases/tag/6.2.9 and advisory GHSA-pr85-w493-9w3x. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
