AI Analysis

Impact

The vulnerability is a stack-based buffer overflow in Easyboot 6.6.0 exposed through the Replace Text function. When a local user supplies an oversized string—such as a 7000‑byte payload—into the text fields, the application crashes, resulting in a denial of service. This flaw falls under CWE-120, indicating insufficient bounds checking during string handling.

Affected Systems

The affected product is Easyboot 6.6.0 from Ezbsystems. Only this specific version is documented as vulnerable, and the flaw is triggered through the normal user interface rather than through any remote interface.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 6.9 reflects a moderate severity with local impact. The EPSS score of less than 1% suggests a low likelihood of exploitation, and the vulnerability is not listed in CISA’s KEV catalog. Attackers need local access to the machine running Easyboot and must manually trigger the Replace Text routine, which limits the attack surface to environments where the application is used by potentially untrusted users.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade to the latest Easyboot release that contains the fix for the Replace Text buffer overflow.
  • If a patch is not yet available, disable the Replace Text feature or restrict local user access to the application to prevent the oversized input from being accepted.
  • Apply OS‑level controls such as application whitelisting or containerization to limit the execution of the vulnerable program.
  • Monitor system and application logs for unexpected crashes and investigate any occurrences immediately.
