CVE-2026-75615: ASN1SCC ACN decoder buffer over-read in string decoding

CVE-2026-75615 · Severity: medium · CVSS 5.3 · Published 2026-11-05

ASN1SCC is a compiler for ASN.1 data encoding used in embedded systems. A flaw in the ACN decoder fails to validate character indices before accessing lookup tables, allowing a malicious message to read adjacent program memory and return invalid characters as valid. For systems processing untrusted ASN.1 messages, this could leak sensitive data from program constants.

Technologies: ESA ASN1SCC. Vendors: ESA.

Quick answers

Is CVE-2026-75615 exploited in the wild?
No. Junglewise Threat Intelligence has no report of CVE-2026-75615 being exploited in the wild.

ESA ASN1SCC before 4.7.0.1.
Is there a fix for CVE-2026-75615?
Yes: fixed in 4.7.0.1. Junglewise finds every place you run it, drafts the upgrade and applies it once you approve.
How is CVE-2026-75615 attacked?
It is attacked over the network, in a software library.
Am I affected by CVE-2026-75615?
Check whether you run ESA ASN1SCC at an affected version. Junglewise does that check for you around the clock: connect your code, cloud and domains, and it matches new vulnerabilities like this one against what you actually run and tells you when one reaches you.

How to fix

  • Fixed in: 4.7.0.1

Technical details

The Acn_Dec_String_CharIndex_private function in asn1crt/asn1crt_encoding_acn.c and generated uPER decoders fail to validate a decoded character index before reading the allowedCharSet array. When string alphabets are not power-of-two sized, an attacker can craft a message with an out-of-bounds index that reads a bounded window of adjacent static constants. The 128-character IA5String alphabet is unaffected due to its power-of-two size.

Affected products

  • ESA ASN1SCC before 4.7.0.1
