CVE-2026-68767
Last modified
CVE-2026-68767 is a medium-severity vulnerability rated 6.1/10 on the CVSS scale. hashcat's fgetl() function in src/filehandling.c writes a null terminator one byte past the caller's buffer when an input line is exactly the buffer length. Attackers can trigger this out-of-bounds heap write by providing a hash file, potfile, or wordlist containing a line of exactly HCBUFSIZ_LARGE bytes.. EPSS estimates a 0.13% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
