CVE-2025-11680 is a medium-severity vulnerability rated 5.9/10 on the CVSS scale. Out-of-bounds Write in unfilter_scanline in warmcat libwebsockets allows, when the LWS_WITH_UPNG flag is enabled during compilation and the HTML display stack is used, to write past a heap allocated buffer possibly causing a crash, when the user visits an attacker controlled website that contains a crafted PNG file with a big width value that causes an integer overflow which value is used for determining the size of a heap allocation.. EPSS estimates a 0.36% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
