MITRE ATT&CK
1 technique across 1 tactic: Collection The technique list with ATT&CK links and the kill-chain view is part of the Basic plan and up. |
| Exploitation Conditions | Exploitation requires a victim to locally process an attacker-supplied crafted data file with a vulnerable GPAC/MP4Box build prior to version 2.5; the crash occurs in gf_props_equal_internal (filter_core/filter_props.c), and the related upstream fix rejects const data passed as a user-assigned PID property. Limiting factors: the vector is local (AV:L) and requires user interaction (UI:R) - the victim must actually run MP4Box against the malicious file; there is no remote or network-facing trigger and no authentication bypass. Impact is confined to denial of service (process crash per A:H, C:N/I:N); there is no code execution or data disclosure in the available data. The precise malformed-file structure that triggers the out-of-bounds read is not detailed in the available sources beyond the crafted-file requirement. |
| Impact | This is a moderate, low-priority issue rather than an emergency. The provided CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H, base 5.5) describes a LOCAL vulnerability requiring user interaction, with the sole impact being availability (a crash/segmentation violation) - no confidentiality or integrity impact per the vector. EPSS is low at 0.20% (9th percentile), consistent with a local file-parsing DoS that is unlikely to be mass-exploited. The CVE is NOT on CISA KEV, so there is no confirmed active exploitation. A public PoC reference exists (github-poc and the sigdevel infosec.exchange post) but the input marks it 'reference only, not verified as working exploit code', so it should not be treated as a confirmed weaponized exploit. The vuln.today decision label is 'this_month', indicating routine prioritization, not urgent action. Note a conflict worth flagging: the input Tags include 'Information Disclosure', but the CVSS vector sets C:N - the available data does not support an information-disclosure outcome, only denial of service; the tag appears to be a generic class label rather than a confirmed impact. Overall this is a genuine but low-severity, locally-triggered crash in a file-processing tool, not a high-urgency remote threat. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An attacker crafts a malformed media/data file and distributes it to a victim (e.g., via download, email, or a shared asset in a media pipeline). When the victim processes the file with a vulnerable MP4Box/GPAC build (before 2.5), an out-of-bounds read in gf_props_equal_internal triggers a segmentation violation, crashing the process. A public PoC reference exists but is not verified as working exploit code; impact is limited to denial of service (process crash), with no code execution or data disclosure indicated by the CVSS vector. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Oct 28, 2026
Denial of service in GPAC MP4Box before 2.5 occurs when a user locally processes a crafted data file, triggering an out-of-bounds read and process crash in gf_props_equal_internal. The vector is local and requires user interaction; there is no remote or network-facing trigger and no code execution or data disclosure is established by the available data. The issue is moderate and low priority rather than an emergency; a public PoC reference exists, it is not verified as working exploit code, and EPSS is low at 0.20%.
RemediationAI
Upgrade to GPAC/MP4Box 2.5 or later, the fixed version boundary stated in the CVE description; the upstream fix commit is https://github.com/gpac/gpac/commit/fcb9083292befe61d3e2466b18edfedba49da098 and the tracked issue is https://github.com/gpac/gpac/issues/3329. The commit rejects GF_PROP_CONST_DATA as a user-assigned PID property, so builds carrying that change address the property-handling path associated with the crash. Advisory context is available at https://seclists.org/oss-sec/2026/q4/354 and http://www.openwall.com/lists/oss-security/2026/10/23/18. The supplied sources do not describe a product-specific workaround; because exploitation requires local processing of an attacker-supplied file, avoiding use of vulnerable MP4Box builds on untrusted media is the only exposure-limiting step identified in the available data.

Technical ContextAI · show details
The flaw is an out-of-bounds read (CWE-125) in GPAC's filter core property-comparison path, specifically gf_props_equal_internal in filter_core/filter_props.c, where comparing crafted property data can terminate the process with a segmentation violation. The supplied upstream commit changes filter_pid.c so that GF_PROP_CONST_DATA cannot be assigned as a user PID property: it logs a warning and converts the type to GF_PROP_FORBIDDEN because the code has no way to validate the described constant memory. That commit explains the property-handling constraint behind the fix, but the precise malformed-file structure that reaches the out-of-bounds read in gf_props_equal_internal is not described in the available sources. The CVE description places affected builds before GPAC/MP4Box 2.5; CVSS 3.1 base score is 5.5 with vector AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H, reflecting local file processing with user interaction and availability-only impact. The feed tags also list Buffer Overflow, Denial Of Service, and Information Disclosure, but the authoritative assessment and vector support availability-only impact; no information disclosure is confirmed.

Lifecycle Timeline

Attack Technique
A buffer overflow occurs when a program writes more data to a memory buffer than it was allocated to hold, causing the excess data to spill into adjacent memory regions.
Information disclosure occurs when an application unintentionally exposes sensitive data that aids attackers in reconnaissance or directly compromises security.
Denial of Service attacks render applications or systems unavailable by overwhelming resources or triggering failure conditions.
