HIGH CVSS 3.1: 7.8 EPSS 0.01%
Updated Apr 17, 2026
Osslsigncode_Project
Parameter Value
CVSS 7.8 (HIGH)
Affected Versions before 2.12
Fixed In 2.12
Type CWE-121 (Stack-based Buffer Overflow), CWE-787 (Out-of-bounds Write)
Vendor Osslsigncode_Project
Public PoC No

osslsigncode is a tool that implements Authenticode signing and timestamping. Prior to 2.12, A stack buffer overflow vulnerability exists in osslsigncode in several signature verification paths. During verification of a PKCS#7 signature, the code copies the digest value from a parsed SpcIndirectDataContent structure into a fixed-size stack buffer (mdbuf[EVP_MAX_MD_SIZE], 64 bytes) without validating that the source length fits within the destination buffer.

This pattern is present in the verification handlers for PE, MSI, CAB, and script files. An attacker can craft a malicious signed file with an oversized digest field in SpcIndirectDataContent. When a user verifies such a file with osslsigncode verify, the unbounded memcpy can overflow the stack buffer and corrupt adjacent stack state.

This vulnerability is fixed in 2.12.
