Mapping guidance

This CWE entry is at the Base level of abstraction, which is a preferred level of abstraction for mapping to the root causes of vulnerabilities. However, closer examination is required.

While this CWE is allowed for mapping, it has more specific children that might be a better fit. Carefully read both the name and description to ensure that this mapping is appropriate. Consider the root cause errors that have led to the out-of-bounds write by examining "CanFollow" relationships for this entry.

Detection methods

Automated Static Analysis

This weakness can often be detected using automated static analysis tools. Many modern tools use data flow analysis or constraint-based techniques to minimize the number of false positives.

Automated static analysis generally does not account for environmental considerations when reporting out-of-bounds memory operations. This can make it difficult for users to determine which warnings should be investigated first. For example, an analysis tool might report buffer overflows that originate from command line arguments in a program that is not expected to run with setuid or other special privileges.

Effectiveness: High

Detection techniques for buffer-related errors are more mature than for most other weakness types.

Automated Dynamic Analysis

This weakness can be detected using dynamic tools and techniques that interact with the software using large test suites with many diverse inputs, such as fuzz testing (fuzzing), robustness testing, and fault injection. The software's operation may slow down, but it should not become unstable, crash, or generate incorrect results.

Automated Dynamic Analysis

Use tools that are integrated during compilation to insert runtime error-checking mechanisms related to memory safety errors, such as AddressSanitizer (ASan) for C/C++ [REF-1518].

Effectiveness: Moderate

Crafted inputs are necessary to reach the code containing the error, such as generated by fuzzers. Also, these tools may reduce performance, and they only report the error condition - not the original mistake that led to the error.

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2026-09-22 20:37 – Updated: 2026-09-22 20:37
VLAI
Summary
Nuclei: Arbitrary Code Execution via Goja JavaScript Engine Vulnerability
Details

A vulnerability in the Goja JavaScript engine used by Nuclei's javascript: protocol allows arbitrary native code execution on the scanner host when running untrusted JavaScript templates.

Affected Component

The issue is in the Goja JavaScript runtime embedded in Nuclei's JavaScript protocol (pkg/js/). An out-of-bounds heap write in the engine can be exploited to achieve native code execution during template evaluation.

Description

Nuclei uses the Goja engine to execute javascript: protocol templates. A memory safety vulnerability in Goja allows attacker-controlled JavaScript to corrupt heap memory and execute arbitrary native code on the host running Nuclei.

Because javascript: templates execute without the -code flag and unsigned JavaScript templates run by default, a malicious template from an untrusted source can trigger code execution during a normal scan. The vulnerability could also be reached through a template's init section, which runs during template initialization before other security checks complete.

[!NOTE] JavaScript templates do not require the -code flag and are not subject to the code-template signing requirement on affected versions. Nuclei v3.11.0 adds a separate signing requirement for JavaScript templates as additional defense in depth.

Affected Users

  • CLI users running untrusted or third-party javascript: templates.
  • SDK users who integrate Nuclei into platforms where end users can supply JavaScript templates.

Patches

  • The vulnerability is fixed in Nuclei v3.10.0 by updating the Goja dependency. Upgrading is strongly recommended.
  • Fix reference: https://github.com/projectdiscovery/nuclei/pull/7467
  • Additional hardening in v3.11.0 requires cryptographic signatures for JavaScript templates: https://github.com/projectdiscovery/nuclei/pull/7514

Mitigation

Upgrade to Nuclei v3.10.0 or later. For additional protection, upgrade to v3.11.0 where JavaScript templates also require valid signatures.

In the meantime, avoid running JavaScript templates from unverified sources.

Workarounds

If upgrading is not an option, do not run untrusted JavaScript templates. There is no configuration flag that mitigates native code execution on affected versions.

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2022-05-24 17:02 – Updated: 2022-11-03 12:00
VLAI
Details

A heap-based buffer overflow was discovered in the Linux kernel, all versions 3.x.x and 4.x.x before 4.18.0, in Marvell WiFi chip driver. The flaw could occur when the station attempts a connection negotiation during the handling of the remote devices country settings. This could allow the remote device to cause a denial of service (system crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code.

GHSA-W255-5HJQ-7P69

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2024-04-17 12:32 – Updated: 2026-05-12 12:31
VLAI
Details

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

netfilter: nf_conntrack_h323: Add protection for bmp length out of range

UBSAN load reports an exception of BRK#5515 SHIFT_ISSUE:Bitwise shifts that are out of bounds for their data type.

vmlinux get_bitmap(b=75) + 712 vmlinux decode_seq(bs=0xFFFFFFD008037000, f=0xFFFFFFD008037018, level=134443100) + 1956 vmlinux decode_choice(base=0xFFFFFFD0080370F0, level=23843636) + 1216 vmlinux decode_seq(f=0xFFFFFFD0080371A8, level=134443500) + 812 vmlinux decode_choice(base=0xFFFFFFD008037280, level=0) + 1216 vmlinux DecodeRasMessage() + 304 vmlinux ras_help() + 684 vmlinux nf_confirm() + 188

Due to abnormal data in skb->data, the extension bitmap length exceeds 32 when decoding ras message then uses the length to make a shift operation. It will change into negative after several loop. UBSAN load could detect a negative shift as an undefined behaviour and reports exception. So we add the protection to avoid the length exceeding 32. Or else it will return out of range error and stop decoding.

Mitigation MIT-3
Requirements

Strategy: Language Selection

  • Use a language that does not allow this weakness to occur or provides constructs that make this weakness easier to avoid.
  • For example, many languages that perform their own memory management, such as Java and Perl, are not subject to buffer overflows. Other languages, such as Ada and C#, typically provide overflow protection, but the protection can be disabled by the programmer.
  • Be wary that a language's interface to native code may still be subject to overflows, even if the language itself is theoretically safe.
Mitigation MIT-4.1
Architecture and Design

Strategy: Libraries or Frameworks

  • Use a vetted library or framework that does not allow this weakness to occur or provides constructs that make this weakness easier to avoid.
  • Examples include the Safe C String Library (SafeStr) by Messier and Viega [REF-57], and the Strsafe.h library from Microsoft [REF-56]. These libraries provide safer versions of overflow-prone string-handling functions.
Mitigation MIT-10
Operation Build and Compilation

Strategy: Environment Hardening

  • Use automatic buffer overflow detection mechanisms that are offered by certain compilers or compiler extensions. Examples include: the Microsoft Visual Studio /GS flag, Fedora/Red Hat FORTIFY_SOURCE GCC flag, StackGuard, and ProPolice, which provide various mechanisms including canary-based detection and range/index checking.
  • D3-SFCV (Stack Frame Canary Validation) from D3FEND [REF-1334] discusses canary-based detection in detail.
Mitigation MIT-9
Implementation
  • Consider adhering to the following rules when allocating and managing an application's memory:
  • Double check that the buffer is as large as specified.
  • When using functions that accept a number of bytes to copy, such as strncpy(), be aware that if the destination buffer size is equal to the source buffer size, it may not NULL-terminate the string.
  • Check buffer boundaries if accessing the buffer in a loop and make sure there is no danger of writing past the allocated space.
  • If necessary, truncate all input strings to a reasonable length before passing them to the copy and concatenation functions.
Mitigation MIT-11
Operation Build and Compilation

Strategy: Environment Hardening

  • Run or compile the software using features or extensions that randomly arrange the positions of a program's executable and libraries in memory. Because this makes the addresses unpredictable, it can prevent an attacker from reliably jumping to exploitable code.
  • Examples include Address Space Layout Randomization (ASLR) [REF-58] [REF-60] and Position-Independent Executables (PIE) [REF-64]. Imported modules may be similarly realigned if their default memory addresses conflict with other modules, in a process known as "rebasing" (for Windows) and "prelinking" (for Linux) [REF-1332] using randomly generated addresses. ASLR for libraries cannot be used in conjunction with prelink since it would require relocating the libraries at run-time, defeating the whole purpose of prelinking.
  • For more information on these techniques see D3-SAOR (Segment Address Offset Randomization) from D3FEND [REF-1335].
Mitigation MIT-12
Operation

Strategy: Environment Hardening

  • Use a CPU and operating system that offers Data Execution Protection (using hardware NX or XD bits) or the equivalent techniques that simulate this feature in software, such as PaX [REF-60] [REF-61]. These techniques ensure that any instruction executed is exclusively at a memory address that is part of the code segment.
  • For more information on these techniques see D3-PSEP (Process Segment Execution Prevention) from D3FEND [REF-1336].
Mitigation MIT-13
Implementation

Replace unbounded copy functions with analogous functions that support length arguments, such as strcpy with strncpy. Create these if they are not available.

No CAPEC attack patterns related to this CWE.
