CVE-2025-55780
Last modified
CVE-2025-55780 is a high-severity vulnerability rated 7.5/10 on the CVSS scale. A null pointer dereference occurs in the function break_word_for_overflow_wrap() in MuPDF 1.26.4 when rendering a malformed EPUB document. Specifically, the function calls fz_html_split_flow() to split a FLOW_WORD node, but does not check if node->next is valid before accessing node->next->overflow_wrap, resulting in a crash if the split fails or returns a partial node chain.. EPSS estimates a 0.40% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
