Attackers can supply a crafted FITS file with a SUBTRACTIVE_DITHER_1 compressed image, read through fits_open_file() and fits_read_pix(), to cause crashes or leak heap contents in decoded pixels.","published":"2026-10-15T19:17:26.000Z","lastModified":"2026-10-26T16:17:13.000Z","status":"Modified","sourceIdentifier":"disclosure@vulncheck.com","cvss":{"version":"4.0","score":6.9,"severity":"MEDIUM","vector":"CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:P/VC:L/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:X/CR:X/IR:X/AR:X/MAV:X/MAC:X/MAT:X/MPR:X/MUI:X/MVC:X/M"},"cwe":["CWE-125"],"affected":["nasa/cfitsio"],"epss":{"score":0.00238,"percentile":0.14705,"date":"2026-10-26","history":[{"date":"2026-10-16","score":0.00129,"percentile":0.02215}]},"kev":{"listed":false},"exploits":{"count":0,"verified":false,"firstPublished":null,"source":"Exploit-DB (https://gitlab.com/exploit-database/exploitdb)","entries":[]},"verdict":{"level":"low","text":"Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.24%).
