CVE-2024-38086

Physically triggered code execution via numeric truncation

Published Jul 9, 2024 · Updated Dec 9, 2025

Numeric truncation in Microsoft Azure Kinect SDK 1.0.0 through 1.4.1 allows physically proximate attackers to execute arbitrary code. Microsoft has not published the affected component, attacker-controlled input, or incorrect narrowing operation that causes the truncation. Exploitation requires direct physical access and a high-complexity trigger, with code execution in the SDK-consuming process.
