Code execution via TDRefCountedPtr out-of-bounds write
Published Aug 25, 2026 · Updated Aug 26, 2026
Out-of-bounds write in NI LabVIEW 26.3.0 and earlier allows context-dependent attackers to execute code or disclose data when a user opens a crafted VI. NI identifies the locus as freeing TDRefCountedPtr but has not disclosed the precise invalid write operation or bounds failure. Exploitation requires user interaction with attacker-supplied VI content and can compromise the LabVIEW process or expose its data.

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.
