Published Apr 22, 2026 CVSS 4.0 · 8.6 High EPSS < 1% KEV · Not listed

Description

MAGIX Music Editor 3.1 contains a buffer overflow vulnerability in the FreeDB Proxy Options dialog that allows local attackers to execute arbitrary code by exploiting structured exception handling. Attackers can craft a malicious payload, paste it into the Server field via the CD menu's FreeDB Proxy Options, and trigger code execution when settings are accepted.

Analysis

Technical impact

A buffer overflow within the FreeDB Proxy Options dialog of MAGIX Music Editor 3.1 permits a local attacker to inject arbitrary code. The vulnerability arises when an attacker supplies an oversized string in the Server field and triggers the settings acceptance, causing a SEH overwrite. This flaw matches CWE‑787 and enables execution of malicious payloads on the affected system.

Affected Systems

MAGIX Music Editor 3.1, released by Magix. Only the 3.1 version is listed as affected, with no additional version range specified. The product is a desktop music editing application that contains the vulnerable dialog.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 8.6 indicates high severity, while the EPSS score is not available and the vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. The exploit requires a local user with access to the machine and involves manipulating the CD menu to paste a crafted payload into the Server field. No network exposure is mentioned, and no publicly available exploits are cited, but the high CVSS implies a serious local compromise risk if exploited.
