CVE-2026-114563: OriginLab Origin Viewer stack-based buffer overflow in OGWU file parsing

CVE-2026-114563 · Severity: high · CVSS 7.8 · Published 2026-11-12

OriginLab Origin Viewer is a file viewer used to open scientific data files. An attacker can craft a malicious OGWU file that, when opened by a user, triggers a stack-based buffer overflow allowing arbitrary code execution on the victim's system. This requires user interaction (opening a file or visiting a malicious page).

Technologies: OriginLab Origin Viewer. Vendors: OriginLab.

Technical details

A stack-based buffer overflow exists in the OGWU file parser due to lack of proper validation of user-supplied data length before copying to a stack buffer. An attacker can exploit this vulnerability via a malicious OGWU file to execute arbitrary code in the context of the viewer process. User interaction is required; the attack vector is local after file delivery.
