Local application crash via pathless XML include
Published Sep 26, 2025 · Updated Sep 26, 2025
Null pointer dereference in Auryn Robotics BehaviorTree.CPP 4.7.0 and earlier allows local users to crash a consuming application. XMLParser::PImpl::loadDocImpl passes the null result of Attribute("path") directly to std::filesystem::path when an include element lacks a path attribute. A low-privileged local user must cause the host application to parse crafted behavior-tree XML, and the demonstrated consequence is process termination.
