CVE-2026-102567
CTranslate2 before 4.8.1 contains an out-of-bounds heap read vulnerability in the binary model loader when deserializing string fields without null terminators.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.12%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
Description
CTranslate2 before 4.8.1 contains an out-of-bounds heap read vulnerability in the binary model loader when deserializing string fields without null terminators. Attackers can craft malicious model files to trigger heap memory reads past buffer boundaries, causing crashes or disclosing adjacent heap memory contents.
