PCRE2 before 10.48, on 32-bit platforms, has a pcre2_compile_32 integer overflow and resultant out-of-bounds write.
AnalysisAI
Integer overflow in pcre2_compile_32 on 32-bit platforms allows network-reachable attackers to trigger an out-of-bounds heap write when a PCRE2-consuming application compiles attacker-supplied regex patterns. Affected versions are all PCRE2 releases prior to 10.48. …

Attack ChainAIDerived
Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Exploitation requires three concurrent conditions: (1) the target system or process must be running on a 32-bit platform where size_t is 32 bits - 64-bit deployments are not affected; (2) the application consuming PCRE2 must call pcre2_compile_32 (the 32-bit character-width API), not the 8-bit or 16-bit variants; (3) the attacker must control or influence the regex pattern string passed to that compile call, which typically means the application exposes pattern input from an external channel such as a web API, configuration endpoint, or user-submitted search field. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The CVSS 3.1 vector AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:H/A:L reflects the key limiting factor: AC:H indicates the attack is constrained to 32-bit platforms, which are increasingly uncommon in modern server deployments but remain present in embedded systems, IoT devices, and legacy infrastructure. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
