Local code execution via registration-code stack overflow
Published Jan 13, 2026 · Updated Jan 13, 2026
Stack buffer overflow in LitexMedia Audio Conversion Wizard 2.01 allows local users to execute arbitrary code via a crafted registration code. The Enter Code dialog copies an oversized registration string into a stack buffer without enforcing its length; the published payload reaches saved control data after 1,016 bytes and redirects execution through id3lib.dll. Exploitation requires local interaction with the Windows application registration dialog, and successful code runs with the application's privileges.
