Code execution via malformed DOE file parsing
Published Dec 19, 2024 · Updated Mar 13, 2025
Out-of-bounds write in Arena Simulation 16.20.06 and earlier allows context-dependent attackers to execute code through a malicious DOE file. The DOE parser fails to validate user-supplied data before writing it past the end of an allocated object. The target must open the file or visit a page that supplies it, and resulting code runs in the current process context.

Exploitability
Present is not the same as exploitable
Compare your product and version with the public record. A matching version still requires validation against your environment.
Is a vulnerable build present?
Compare these published version ranges with your installed build and any vendor patches.
