Impact
The vulnerability is a NULL Pointer Dereference in the liteidex/src/3rdparty/libvterm/src module of visualfc LiteIDE. When a program encounters certain out‑of‑memory conditions it fails to guard against a null pointer, which can cause the application to crash. This flaw is a classic instance of CWE‑476 and can be used to trigger a denial of service by terminating the LiteIDE process.
Affected Systems
visualfc LiteIDE versions prior to x38.4 are affected. All program modules screen.C, state.C, and vterm.C may lead to the crash when run under these versions.
Risk and Exploitability
The CVSS score is 6.7, indicating moderate severity, while the EPSS score is less than 1% and the vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. No remote exploitation vector is documented, so the risk is chiefly local or for users who run the application in an unmanaged environment. The low EPSS suggests that the likelihood of exploitation is low, but the impact on availability is high if an attacker can force the application to crash.
