Description
OriginLab Origin Viewer OGM File Parsing Memory Corruption Remote Code Execution Vulnerability. This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on affected installations of OriginLab Origin Viewer. User interaction is required to exploit this vulnerability in that the target must visit a malicious page or open a malicious file.

The specific flaw exists within the parsing of OGM files. The issue results from the lack of proper validation of user-supplied data, which can result in a memory corruption condition. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to execute code in the context of the current process. Was ZDI-CAN-29340.

Impact

OriginLab Origin Viewer the parsing of .ogm files, which can result in arbitrary code execution. The vulnerability arises from insufficient validation of user‑supplied data during file parsing, allowing a malicious file to overwrite memory and execute code in the context of the current process. The attacker can achieve full control of the targeted application instance, potentially compromising the system that runs Origin Viewer.

Affected Systems

The affected product is OriginLab Origin Viewer. No specific version information was provided, so all installations of this application that have not applied a patch are potentially vulnerable.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 7.8 indicates high severity, yet the exploit requires user interaction; the target must open a malicious .ogm file or visit a malicious page that triggers the file download. The EPSS score is < 1%, indicating a very low exploitation probability, and the vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog, suggesting that publicly known exploitation is limited. Nevertheless, the potential for remote code vector is likely via social engineering or compromised websites.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Apply vendor patch or update to the latest Origin Viewer release that addresses the OGM parsing vulnerability.
  • If a patch is not yet available, configure the system from untrusted sources are blocked or quarantined, and prevent Origin Viewer from automatically opening browser security controls to block navigation to known malicious sites that serve the exploit or attempt to trick users into downloading and opening malicious .ogm files.
  • Enable antivirus or endpoint protection to scan and block malicious .ogm files before they are opened, and enforce operating system or application file‑type restrictions to prevent execution of untrusted files.
