Impact

RawTherapee has an integer overflow or wraparound vulnerability in its rtengine modules, specifically involving files in dcraw.Cc. The flaw can result in a memory corruption that may allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code, overwrite data, or cause the application to crash. The impact threatens confidentiality, integrity, and availability of systems that use the affected software.

Affected Systems

RawTherapee, versions through 5.11 inclusive, are affected. No newer releases are listed as vulnerable.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score is 8.3, indicating high severity. The EPSS score is below 1%, implying a low likelihood of exploitation at this time. The vulnerability is not yet catalogued in the CISA KEV list.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade RawTherapee to version 5.12 or later to obtain the vendor‑supplied fix.
  • If an immediate upgrade is not possible, restrict RawTherapee to process RAW files only from trusted directories or temporarily disable raw‑image handling until a patch is available.
  • When opening RAW images from untrusted or remote sources, scan the files or use sandboxing to ensure they are not malicious before processing them with the application.
