CVE-2024-38517
Last modified
CVE-2024-38517 is a high-severity vulnerability rated 7.8/10 on the CVSS scale. Tencent RapidJSON is vulnerable to privilege escalation due to an integer underflow in the `GenericReader::ParseNumber()` function of `include/rapidjson/reader.h` when parsing JSON text from a stream. An attacker needs to send the victim a crafted file which needs to be opened; this triggers the integer underflow vulnerability (when the file is parsed), leading to elevation of privilege.. EPSS estimates a 0.38% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
