Last modified

CVE-2015-4590 is a vulnerability of currently unknown severity. The extractFrom function in Internals/QuotedString.cpp in Arduino JSON before 4.5 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via a JSON string with a \ (backslash) followed by a terminator, as demonstrated by "\\\0", which triggers a buffer overflow and over-read.. EPSS estimates a 2.65% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
