Executive Summary

This vulnerability is caused by insufficient verification of input parameters, which leads to format errors in files. When such an error occurs, it triggers an unhandled "std::invalid_argument" exception in the program.

As a result, the program terminates unexpectedly due to this unhandled exception.

The vulnerability can cause the affected program to terminate unexpectedly, leading to a denial of service condition.

Since the CVSS score indicates a high impact on availability (A:H) but no impact on confidentiality or integrity, the main risk is disruption of service rather than data compromise.
