CVE-2026-40489 Apr 18, 01:24 HIGH PATCH This Week

Stack-based buffer overflow in editorconfig-core-c library (versions ≤0.12.10) enables local attackers to crash applications or potentially execute arbitrary code via maliciously crafted .editorconfig files and directory structures. This incomplete fix for CVE-2023-0341 left the l_pattern[8194] stack buffer unprotected while only addressing the pcre_str buffer in version 0.12.6. Patched in version 0.12.11. No active exploitation confirmed (not in CISA KEV), but publicly exploitable with local access and minimal complexity (CVSS AV:L/AC:L/PR:N).
