CVE-2019-25552Public exploit

Application crash via oversized password input

Published Mar 21, 2026 · Updated Mar 21, 2026

Denial of service in CEWE Fotoschau 6.4.3 allows local users to crash the application by pasting oversized input into its password field. The published proof of concept fills the upload dialog's password control with 5,000 repeated characters; submitting that oversized value terminates the process. The demonstrated gate is interactive access to the Windows desktop GUI, and the reported consequence is limited to an application crash.
