CVE-2026-42480

Stack-based Out-of-Bounds Read in VRML Parser Causing Denial of Service in OCCT

Published May 1, 2026 CVSS 3.1 · 5.5 Medium EPSS < 1% KEV · Not listed
Description
A stack-based out-of-bounds read vulnerability in VrmlData_Scene::ReadLine in the VRML parser in Open CASCADE Technology (OCCT) V8_0_0_rc5 allows attackers to cause a denial of service via a crafted VRML file. The issue occurs because the quoted-string escape handler uses ptr[++anOffset] without proper bounds checking, which can read past the end of a fixed-size stack buffer.
