CVE-2026-85444
MOOS-IvP through 24.8.1 contains a buffer over-read vulnerability in isQuoted(), isBraced(), and isChevroned() functions that strip whitespace but index using the original string length.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (0.78%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
