Description
There is a memory corruption vulnerability recently
discovered in NI LabVIEW that may result in information disclosure or arbitrary
code execution.  Successful exploitation requires an attacker to get a
user to open a specially crafted VI.  This vulnerability affects NI
LabVIEW 2026 Q3 (26.3.0) and prior versions.

AI Analysis

Impact

A memory corruption vulnerability in NI LabVIEW can allow an attacker to read beyond array bounds when loading a specially crafted VI, potentially leading to information disclosure or arbitrary code execution. The weakness is a classic out-of-bounds read (CWE-125) that can compromise the confidentiality, integrity or availability of a system. During exploitation the attacker must convince a local user to open a malicious VI, at which point the corrupt read can be leveraged to compromise the local process. The severity is reflected in a CVSS score of 8.5, indicating high potential impact.

Affected Systems

NI LabVIEW versions 2026 Q3 (26.3.0) and all earlier releases are affected. The vulnerability applies to the standard NI LabVIEW product.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 8.5 classifies the flaw as high severity, and although EPSS data is not available, the lack of a KEV listing does not diminish the risk of exploitation. Due to the local user interaction requirement, the attack vector is inferred as a social engineering or phishing scenario where a user must intentionally open a malicious VI file. Once executed, the exploit could allow full code execution under the context of the current user. The vulnerability is therefore considered high risk for environments where LabVIEW is used by multiple users or where untrusted VI files may be opened.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Download and install the latest LabVIEW security update released by NI that fixes the memory corruption vulnerability. The update can be obtained from NI’s official support site.
  • Upgrade all LabVIEW installations to a version newer than 2026 Q3 (for example, 2026 Q4 or later) where the vulnerability is resolved.
  • Restrict the ability of untrusted users to open VI files by removing network shares that expose LabVIEW projects, applying strict file‑system permissions, and disabling auto-load features for external VI files.
