CVE-2026-10197Public exploit

Application crash via malformed embedded-texture MIME type

Published May 31, 2026 · Updated May 31, 2026

Null-pointer dereference in Assimp 6.0.0 through 6.0.4 allows local users to crash an importing application via a crafted glTF file. ImportEmbeddedTextures adds one to an unchecked strchr result; a MIME type lacking a slash yields address 0x1, which strncmp dereferences. A local user must cause an application to process the file; the demonstrated consequence is an application crash, not data access or code execution.
