CVE-2018-25228Public exploit

Local application crash via oversized Workgroup input

Published Mar 30, 2026 · Updated Mar 30, 2026

Out-of-bounds write in NetSetMan 4.7.1 allows local users to crash the application through oversized Workgroup input. The Workgroup activation path accepts a 100-character pasted string without enforcing the destination buffer's limit, then writes beyond that buffer. A local user must enable Workgroup, paste the generated text into the field, and activate the profile; the demonstrated consequence is an application crash.
