CVE-2026-0955

Arbitrary code execution via malformed DSA file

Published Mar 13, 2026 · Updated Mar 13, 2026

Out-of-bounds read in Digilent DASYLab allows attackers to execute arbitrary code when a user opens a crafted DSA file. The DSA file parser fails to validate user-supplied data before reading past the end of an allocated data structure. Exploitation requires user interaction and runs code in the context of the DASYLab process; all versions are affected.
