Arbitrary code execution or application termination
Published May 8, 2024 · Updated Apr 2, 2026
File parsing in Apple iTunes for Windows before 12.13.2 allows attackers to terminate the app or execute arbitrary code via a file. The affected CoreMedia component performs insufficient checks while parsing the file, but Apple has not disclosed the checked data or resulting memory error. User interaction is required to make iTunes parse the file; the outcome is limited to an application crash or code execution in its security context.
