1 technique across 1 tactic: Execution The technique list with ATT&CK links and the kill-chain view is part of the Basic plan and up. |
| Exploitation Conditions | Exploitation requires network reachability to the RTI Connext Professional Web Integration Service component specifically - deployments that do not enable or expose the Web Integration Service are not exploitable through this flaw. Per CVSS 4.0 PR:N/UI:N/AT:N, no authentication, user interaction, or special attack requirements are needed once the service endpoint is reachable. Limiting factors: the Web Integration Service is an optional component and is frequently deployed only on internal networks or behind reverse proxies, and the high availability / low confidentiality-integrity impact profile suggests the realistic outcome is a service crash rather than reliable arbitrary code execution. |
| Impact | The CVSS 4.0 vector AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N indicates a fully remote, unauthenticated, low-complexity attack with no user interaction - the highest-exposure precondition profile. However, the impact metrics (VC:L/VI:L/VA:H) point to availability as the dominant outcome with only limited confidentiality and integrity exposure, suggesting a service crash rather than reliable code execution. EPSS data was not provided and the CVE is not listed in CISA KEV, and no public exploit identified at time of analysis. Real-world risk is elevated where the Web Integration Service is exposed beyond a trusted network boundary, which is common in IoT/industrial gateways but not in air-gapped DDS deployments; defenders should treat this as a high-priority availability risk for any internet- or DMZ-facing Connext deployment. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An attacker who can reach the Web Integration Service over the network sends a single crafted HTTP or WebSocket request containing an oversized field that bypasses the input filter and overflows a fixed-size buffer in the parsing routine. The Web Integration Service crashes, severing the bridge between DDS topics and web clients and disrupting real-time data flow to operator dashboards or downstream consumers; no public exploit identified at time of analysis, so this remains a theoretical chain pending vendor or third-party PoC release. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Jun 17, 2026
Remote denial of service and partial data exposure in RTI Connext Professional's Web Integration Service results from a classic buffer overflow (CWE-120) reachable over the network without authentication. Versions 7.4.0 before 7.x, 7.0.0 before 7.3.1.3, and 6.1.2 before 6.1.x are vulnerable, and no public exploit identified at time of analysis. The CVSS 4.0 score of 8.8 reflects high availability impact with low confidentiality and integrity impact, consistent with a filter-failure overflow that crashes the service rather than yielding full code execution.
RemediationAI
Upgrade RTI Connext Professional to 7.3.1.3 or later on the 7.0-7.3 branch, and to the fixed 6.1.x or 7.4.x maintenance release as published by RTI per https://www.rti.com/vulnerabilities/#cve-2026-7300 (Vendor-released patch: 7.3.1.3 for the 7.0-7.3 line; consult the advisory for exact 6.1.x and 7.4.x fix builds). Until patching is possible, restrict network reachability of the Web Integration Service to trusted management VLANs by firewalling its listener port, place it behind an authenticating reverse proxy or WAF that enforces request-size limits on the affected endpoints, and disable or unload the Web Integration Service if it is not in active use - accepting the trade-off that web-based DDS clients will lose connectivity. Monitor the service for unexpected restarts or crash dumps as a high-signal indicator of exploitation attempts.

Technical ContextAI · show details
RTI Connext Professional is a Data Distribution Service (DDS) middleware platform widely used in real-time and mission-critical systems (defense, robotics, autonomous vehicles, medical devices). The vulnerable component is the Web Integration Service, which bridges DDS topics to web clients over HTTP/WebSocket. CWE-120 (Classic Buffer Overflow) indicates that input data is copied into a fixed-size buffer without proper length validation; the description characterizes the consequence as 'Filter Failure through Buffer Overflow', meaning oversized input bypasses a filter check and corrupts adjacent memory in the parsing path.

DescriptionCVE.org
Buffer Copy without Checking Size of Input ('Classic Buffer Overflow') vulnerability in RTI Connext Professional (Web Integration Service) allows Filter Failure through Buffer Overflow.This issue affects Connext Professional: from 7.4.0 before 7.*, from 7.0.0 before 7.3.1.3, from 6.1.2 before 6.1.*.
Executive ViewAI
RTI Connext Professional Web Integration Service contains a high-severity vulnerability (CVSS 8.8) allowing unauthenticated attackers to disrupt service and access partial data, with no vendor patch currently available. Organizations using affected versions face operational risk through potential service outages and data exposure. Immediate implementation of network protective measures is required to reduce exposure while awaiting patch availability.
No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis. Interim mitigations: Restrict network access to Web Integration Service through firewall rules, allowing connections only from authorized systems. Implement comprehensive logging and real-time monitoring of all network traffic to the vulnerable service with alerting on abnormal patterns. Isolate affected systems from untrusted networks and external internet connectivity. Maintain detailed inventory of all affected systems to enable rapid patch deployment once available.
