Service crash via unchecked JSON string copy
Published Aug 31, 2026 · Updated Sep 2, 2026
NULL pointer dereference in Armink struct2json 1.0 allows remote attackers to crash a consuming service via crafted JSON input. S2J_STRUCT_GET_string_ELEMENT passes a parsed node's NULL valuestring to strncpy without first confirming that the node is a JSON string. No authentication or user interaction is required when a consuming service exposes deserialization to network input; the bounded result is a process crash.
