Exploitation Conditions

Requires an application built on Eclipse iceoryx2 (>v0.8.0) that (1) stores untrusted or potentially non-UTF-8 bytes into a StaticString via its safe mutable-byte APIs and (2) subsequently calls String::as_str(), which does not validate UTF-8, thereby creating an invalid &str and invoking undefined behavior. Exploitation is strongly limited: it is local (AV:L), high-complexity (AC:H) with additional attack requirements (AT:P), needs the application to be coded in the vulnerable pattern, and yields only minor integrity/availability impact with no confidentiality impact. It is not remotely exploitable against a default configuration on its own - it is a soundness hole exposed only through vulnerable consumer code.

Impact

This is a genuine-but-very-low-priority Rust soundness (memory-safety) defect, not a remotely weaponizable vulnerability. The vendor CVSS 4.0 base score of 1.0 (AV:L/AC:H/AT:P/PR:H/UI:A) correctly reflects that: local vector, high attack complexity, additional attack requirements, privileges required, active user interaction, and only minor integrity/availability impact (VC:N/VI:L/VA:L). No EPSS score, no CISA KEV listing, and no public exploit are present in the input - status is 'no public exploit identified at time of analysis'. The real risk is a class of undefined behavior (creating an invalid &str) that manifests only when an application actually routes attacker-influenced or malformed bytes into StaticString and then calls String::as_str(); it is a library footgun that requires vulnerable application code to be reachable. One data note: the assigned CWE-749 (exposed dangerous function) fits the safe-API-exposing-unsafe-behavior pattern, but the 'Information Disclosure' tag conflicts with the vendor vector's VC:N (no confidentiality impact) - the true impact is memory-safety/UB, not disclosure. Bottom line: low real-world risk, appropriate to patch during normal maintenance by upgrading to v0.10.0.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

A developer builds an application on iceoryx2 that stores externally-supplied bytes in a StaticString and later calls String::as_str() on it; a peer sending non-UTF-8 bytes over the IPC channel causes an invalid &str to be produced, invoking undefined behavior (potential crash or memory corruption) entirely through safe Rust. No public proof-of-concept is provided in the input, and exploitation depends on the application exposing the vulnerable code path.

AnalysisAIv1 – Sep 21, 2026

Eclipse iceoryx2 versions after v0.8.0 up to v0.9.x contain a Rust soundness defect in which StaticString exposes its contents as mutable bytes via safe APIs, and the associated String::as_str() conversion does not validate UTF-8, allowing safe Rust code to construct an invalid &str and trigger undefined behavior. Exploitation requires a local authenticated attacker with low privileges and high attack complexity, and it additionally depends on an application coded in the vulnerable pattern; impact is limited to minor integrity and availability loss with no confidentiality impact, and the defect is not remotely exploitable against a default configuration. No public exploit code or active exploitation has been identified, and the vendor has released a patched version v0.10.0.

RemediationAI

Upgrade to Eclipse iceoryx2 v0.10.0 or later, which contains the fix for the StaticString/UTF-8 validation issue; the patched crate iceoryx2-bb-container 0.10.0 is available on crates.io. Since the vulnerability requires consumer code to store non-UTF-8 bytes and then call String::as_str(), a temporary workaround is to audit applications for such unsafe patterns and ensure that all bytes written into StaticString are valid UTF-8 before invoking as_str(), or to replace as_str() with a checked UTF-8 validation (e.g., std::str::from_utf8) before creating a string reference. However, this workaround is error-prone and does not address the underlying soundness hole; it also may break code that relies on the unchecked conversion. For systems that cannot immediately upgrade, restrict use of StaticString to trusted inputs and avoid exposing its mutable byte APIs to untrusted data, though this requires code changes and does not fully eliminate the risk. The vendor advisory (https://github.com/eclipse-iceoryx/iceoryx2/security/advisories/GHSA-8mq4-3mwq-qvg6) and release notes (https://github.com/eclipse-iceoryx/iceoryx2/releases/tag/v0.10.0) provide additional guidance.

Technical ContextAI · show details

Eclipse iceoryx2 is a Rust-based inter-process communication (IPC) framework for safety-critical systems, and the affected component is the StaticString type within the iceoryx2-bb-container crate. The root cause is classified as CWE-749 (Exposed Dangerous Method or Function): safe mutable-byte accessors on StaticString allow callers to write arbitrary bytes, while String::as_str() performs an unchecked conversion to a Rust string slice (&str) without verifying UTF-8 validity. This creates an invalid &str, violating Rust's memory safety guarantees and leading to undefined behavior-typically manifesting as memory corruption or miscompilation. The CPE cpe:2.3:a:eclipse_foundation:eclipse_iceoryx™:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:* identifies the affected product family, and the vulnerable versions are those greater than v0.8.0 and prior to the fix in v0.10.0, as noted in the GitHub security advisory GHSA-8mq4-3mwq-qvg6.

DescriptionCVE.org

In Eclipse iceoryx2 versions greater than v0.8.0, the StaticString exposes its contents as mutable bytes through safe APIs, while String::as_str() converts those bytes into a Rust string slice without validating UTF-8. An application can therefore create an invalid &str and trigger undefined behavior using entirely safe Rust.
