Technical details
The vulnerability is an out-of-bounds write in OriginPro's OGG file parser, resulting from insufficient validation of user-supplied data structures. An attacker can craft a malicious OGG project file that triggers a write past the end of an allocated buffer during parsing, causing memory corruption. Exploitation requires user interaction (opening a malicious OGG file), but if successful allows arbitrary code execution in the context of the current user. The issue affects OriginPro 2026b SR0 and earlier; a patch is available in OriginPro 2026b SR1.
