CVE-2022-39805 is a high-severity vulnerability rated 7.8/10 on the CVSS scale. Due to lack of proper memory management, when a victim opens a manipulated Computer Graphics Metafile (.cgm, CgmTranslator.exe) file received from untrusted sources in SAP 3D Visual Enterprise Author - version 9, it is possible that a Remote Code Execution can be triggered when payload forces a stack-based overflow or a re-use of dangling pointer which refers to overwritten space in memory.. EPSS estimates a 0.50% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
