CVE-2026-124030: GPAC type confusion in gf_sg_command_apply

CVE-2026-124030 · Severity: medium · CVSS 5.5 · Published 2026-11-06

GPAC is a multimedia framework used for video streaming and MP4 file processing. A type confusion vulnerability in the BIFS command handler allows an attacker to crash MP4Box or applications using GPAC by supplying a crafted XMT file, potentially during chapter import operations. This could disrupt video processing workflows or be chained with other vulnerabilities for more severe impact.

Technologies: Gpac. Vendors: Gpac.

Technical details

The vulnerability is a type confusion flaw in gf_sg_command_apply() within src/scenegraph/commands.c that fails to validate BIFS field-replace command types match the target node fields. When a malicious XMT file is processed, the type mismatch causes gf_sg_vrml_field_clone() to perform memcpy operations from invalid memory pointers, resulting in a crash (denial of service).
