CVE-2025-8001

Ashlar-Vellum Cobalt CO File Parsing Memory Corruption Remote Code Execution Vulnerability. This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on affected installations of Ashlar-Vellum Cobalt. User interaction is required to exploit this vulnerability in that the target must visit a malicious page or open a malicious file. The specific flaw exists within the parsing of CO files. The issue results from the lack of proper validation of user-supplied data, which can result in a memory corruption condition. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to execute code in the context of the current process. Was ZDI-CAN-26053.

Summary		(es) Vulnerabilidad de ejecución remota de código por corrupción de memoria en el parsing de archivos CO de Ashlar-Vellum Cobalt. Esta vulnerabilidad permite a atacantes remotos ejecutar código arbitrario en instalaciones afectadas de Ashlar-Vellum Cobalt. Se requiere interacción del usuario para explotar esta vulnerabilidad, ya que el objetivo debe visitar una página maliciosa o abrir un archivo malicioso. La falla específica existe en el parsing de archivos CO. El problema resulta de la falta de validación adecuada de los datos proporcionados por el usuario, lo que puede resultar en una condición de corrupción de memoria. Un atacante puede aprovechar esta vulnerabilidad para ejecutar código en el contexto del proceso actual. Fue ZDI-CAN-26053.
