CyberRota Analysis
AI-GeneratedThe CodeMeter Runtime prior to versions 8.41a and 9.10 is vulnerable due to improper input sanitization in the logger, enabling attackers to inject format specifiers that can crash the application and expose sensitive information like process memory and stack canaries. This vulnerability can be exploited both locally and remotely, particularly when combined with another identified vulnerability. Organizations using affected versions should prioritize patching to mitigate the risk of data exposure and service disruption.
Original NVD Description
In CodeMeter Runtime before versions 8.41a and 9.10, the logger does not sanitize input strings in certain cases, allowing an attacker to inject printf-style format specifiers. This can be used to reliably crash CodeMeter and disclose sensitive information such as process memory and stack canaries. The attack works locally, for example by using cmu --set-proxy to set the proxy value, and remotely when combined with CVE-2026-81573 by setting General.ProxyServer and then triggering this vulnerability.
