CVE-2026-73522
HighCVSS 7.5Exploitation Probability (EPSS)
High risk82th percentile - higher than 82% of all known CVEs
Summary
COVESA Open1722 through 0.9.2 contains a stack buffer overflow vulnerability that allows unauthenticated remote attackers to write past the end of a fixed 15-slot stack array by sending a crafted UDP datagram containing more than 15 ACF-CAN messages. The avtp_to_can() function increments its write index without bounding it against the caller-supplied array size, and because the listener accepts datagrams from any sender matching a hardcoded unauthenticated stream ID transmitted in plaintext, attackers can corrupt adjacent stack memory to achieve arbitrary code execution or denial of service.
Risk Assessment
The risk includes remote code execution or denial of service, which could lead to full system compromise or disruption of operations.
Recommendation
It is recommended to upgrade COVESA Open1722 to a version newer than 0.9.2 and to implement authentication and message length validation.
