CVE-2026-42477

A heap-based out-of-bounds read vulnerability in RWObj_Reader::read in the OBJ file parser in Open CASCADE Technology (OCCT) V8_0_0_rc5 allows user-assisted attackers to cause a denial of service or obtain sensitive information by persuading a victim to open a crafted OBJ file. The issue occurs because Standard_ReadLineBuffer::ReadLine() can return a 1-byte buffer for a minimal OBJ line, and RWObj_Reader::read() calls pushIndices(aLine + 2) without validating the buffer length.

Analysis

Open CASCADE Technology is a specialized C++ library for 3D modeling and CAD applications. While important in engineering circles, it is not part of the common web, mobile, or backend stack used by the community. The bug also requires user interaction to open a crafted file.
