FAUCET Score

CVE-2022-38143 is a critical heap out-of-bounds write vulnerability in OpenImageIO v2.3.19.0, specifically impacting its processing of RLE encoded BMP images. An unauthenticated attacker can exploit this by providing a specially crafted malicious BMP file, potentially leading to arbitrary code execution. With a CVSS score of 9.8 (CRITICAL) and a FAUCET Risk Score of 79/100, this vulnerability presents a significant risk due to its network-based attack vector, low attack complexity, and high impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. While no active exploitation, public exploit code (Metasploit, Nuclei, ExploitDB), or significant community discussion has been observed, the potential for severe consequences remains high.
