CVE-2025-0529Public exploit

Local program crash via unbounded username input

Published Jan 17, 2025 · Updated Feb 12, 2025

Stack-based buffer overflow in Code Projects Train Ticket Reservation System 1.0 allows local users to crash the program via a long username. The login form passes the username buffer to scanf with an unbounded %s conversion, allowing input to overwrite adjacent stack memory. The local user must reach the interactive login form; the demonstrated consequence is a segmentation-fault crash, while code execution is unverified.
