Vulnerability Assessment

Weakness
CWE
ASVS 5.0
V15 - Secure Coding and Architecture Resource release
Exploitation Conditions

Exploitation requires: (1) local access to the system running tsMuxer (AV:L prevents remote exploitation), (2) valid user credentials with at least standard-level privileges (PR:L), (3) the ability to invoke tsMuxer directly or supply input to a process running tsMuxer, and (4) tsMuxer version 2.7.0 or earlier must be installed. No special product configuration or non-default settings are mentioned as prerequisites - the vulnerability exists in the default implementation of the HevcVpsUnit::setFPS function. Exploitation does NOT require user interaction (UI:N) beyond initial execution, meaning automated or scripted attacks are feasible against affected instances.

Impact

This vulnerability presents minimal real-world risk despite public exploit availability. The CVSS 1.9 score reflects multiple limiting factors: local-only access requirement (AV:L), authenticated user prerequisite (PR:L), and low privilege threshold (PR:L) significantly restrict the attack surface. The impact is limited to availability only (VA:L), with no confidentiality or integrity compromise possible. EPSS exploitation probability is not provided, but the combination of low CVSS, local-only access requirement, and the stated fact that affected versions are no longer supported by the maintainer suggests this is a low-priority issue. The presence of publicly available POC does not materially increase risk given the stringent access prerequisites. Organizations should prioritize patching or upgrading over this vulnerability compared to network-accessible flaws.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

A local authenticated user with standard privileges obtains the publicly available POC exploit (available at https://github.com/user-attachments/files/16812270/poc1.zip) and executes it against a system running tsMuxer 2.7.0. The exploit supplies a malformed track_id value to the HevcVpsUnit::setFPS function, causing the application to crash and denying service to legitimate tsMuxer operations. This scenario requires the attacker to already have local shell access and valid user credentials on the target system.

AnalysisAIv1 – May 04, 2026

Denial of service in tsMuxer up to version 2.7.0 via improper input validation in the HevcVpsUnit::setFPS function allows local authenticated attackers to crash the application by manipulating the track_id argument. The vulnerability affects only unsupported product versions and carries a very low CVSS score (1.9), though publicly available exploit code exists.

RemediationAI

The most effective remediation is to upgrade tsMuxer to a version newer than 2.7.0 if available from the justdan96 GitHub repository (https://github.com/justdan96/tsMuxer/). Since the vulnerability description indicates affected versions are no longer supported by the maintainer, users should verify whether newer unsupported-maintenance releases or community forks provide fixes. As a compensating control, restrict local access to tsMuxer by limiting user accounts with execution privileges on systems running the application, though this may impact legitimate workflow automation. Additionally, monitor tsMuxer process execution logs for unexpected crashes or error conditions that might indicate exploitation attempts. Given the low CVSS score and local-only attack vector, organizations not running tsMuxer as a service or in shared-access environments face negligible practical risk.

Technical ContextAI · show details

tsMuxer is a video multiplexing utility that processes HEVC (H.265) video streams. The vulnerability resides in the HevcVpsUnit::setFPS function within hevc.cpp, which handles frame rate configuration for HEVC video parameter sets. The flaw is categorized under CWE-404 (Improper Resource Validation), indicating that the function fails to properly validate the track_id parameter before using it in a way that triggers a denial of service condition. The attack vector is local (AV:L), requiring an authenticated user with low privileges (PR:L) to supply crafted input that causes the application to malfunction or crash.

DescriptionCVE.org

A weakness has been identified in justdan96 tsMuxer up to 2.7.0. This vulnerability affects the function HevcVpsUnit::setFPS of the file /AFLplusplus/tsMuxer_prev/tsMuxer/hevc.cpp. This manipulation of the argument track_id causes denial of service. The attack requires local access. The exploit has been made available to the public and could be used for attacks. This vulnerability only affects products that are no longer supported by the maintainer.
