CVE-2024-12212

Code execution via unvalidated CSP file parsing

Published Dec 13, 2024 · Updated Dec 13, 2024

Out-of-bounds read in Cscape 10.0.363.1 and earlier allows context-dependent attackers to execute code via a crafted CSP file. The CSP parser does not validate user-supplied file data before reading past the end of allocated data structures. Exploitation requires a user to open the file, after which attacker-controlled code runs in the Cscape process context.
