CVE-2025-2020 describes an out-of-bounds write vulnerability in Ashlar-Vellum Cobalt, specifically affecting its VC6 file parsing. This flaw allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on affected installations if a user opens a malicious file or visits a malicious page. Rated as High severity (CVSS 7.8), the vulnerability requires user interaction (UI:R) but has low attack complexity (AC:L), potentially leading to complete compromise of confidentiality, integrity, and availability (C:H/I:H/A:H). The issue stems from improper validation of user-supplied data, causing a buffer overflow. Currently, there is no public exploit code available (Metasploit, Nuclei, ExploitDB: None), nor is it listed on the KEV catalog, indicating no active exploitation. Community discussion and media coverage are also minimal.
