Local vector with high complexity because exploitation requires influencing application-layer API arguments; no confidentiality impact; bounded write yields only low integrity and availability impact.
Primary rating from Vendor (wolfSSL).

Out-of-bounds write in SetSuitesHashSigAlgo when processing an oversized signature algorithms list, allowing a write past the bounds of the destination buffer.
AnalysisAI
Out-of-bounds write in wolfSSL's SetSuitesHashSigAlgo function corrupts memory when an application passes an oversized signature algorithms list to the wolfSSL_CTX_set1_sigalgs_list or wolfSSL_set1_sigalgs_list APIs, writing past the end of the internal suites buffer (CWE-787). All wolfSSL versions prior to the bounds-check fix in PR #10204 are affected; the CVSS 4.0 score of 2.0 reflects a local-only vector, high complexity, and constrained impact limited to low integrity and availability degradation within the consuming process. …

Attack ChainAIDerived
Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Exploitation requires that an attacker control or influence the string argument passed to wolfSSL_CTX_set1_sigalgs_list or wolfSSL_set1_sigalgs_list within an application using wolfSSL, and that this string contain more entries than WOLFSSL_MAX_SIGALGO. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The CVSS 4.0 score of 2.0 with vector AV:L/AC:H/AT:P/PR:N/UI:P/VC:N/VI:L/VA:L accurately captures the constrained real-world risk. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | An attacker with the ability to influence a wolfSSL-consuming application's TLS configuration - for example through a writable configuration file, an administrative API, or unsanitized user input passed to wolfSSL_CTX_set1_sigalgs_list - supplies a colon-delimited signature algorithms string containing more than WOLFSSL_MAX_SIGALGO entries. When the application processes this input, SetSuitesHashSigAlgo writes beyond the end of the internal suites buffer, potentially corrupting adjacent heap or stack memory. … |
| Remediation | Apply the upstream fix from GitHub PR #10204 (https://github.com/wolfSSL/wolfssl/pull/10204) by upgrading to the wolfSSL release that incorporates this change; consult https://www.wolfssl.com/docs/security-vulnerabilities/ for the official patched version once tagged. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
