Remote code execution via overflowing bounds check
Published Dec 9, 2025 · Updated Dec 9, 2025
Integer overflow in the Buffer class in Robocode Project Robocode 1.9.3.6 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via crafted lengths. The write method tests whether offset plus length exceeds the backing array, but that addition can wrap to a small value and bypass the bounds check. No authentication or user interaction is required; successful exploitation can overrun the buffer and run code with the application's privileges.

Exploitability
Present is not the same as exploitable
Compare your product and version with the public record. A matching version still requires validation against your environment.
Is a vulnerable build present?
Compare these published version ranges with your installed build and any vendor patches.
