Description
OriginLab OriginPro OGG File Parsing Out-Of-Bounds Write Remote Code Execution Vulnerability. This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on affected installations of OriginLab OriginPro. User interaction is required to exploit this vulnerability in that the target must visit a malicious page or open a malicious file. The specific flaw exists within the parsing of OGG files. The issue results from the lack of proper validation of user-supplied data, which can result in a write past the end of an allocated data structure. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to execute code in the context of the current process. Was ZDI-CAN-29333.

Executive Summary

CVE-2026-18290 is an out-of-bounds write vulnerability in OriginLab OriginPro that occurs during the parsing of specially crafted OGG project files. This flaw allows attackers to corrupt memory and potentially execute arbitrary code on the affected system. Exploitation requires user interaction, such as opening a malicious OGG file or visiting a malicious page.

Detection Guidance

This vulnerability can be detected by checking the version of OriginLab OriginPro installed on your system. If you are running Origin 2026b SR0 or earlier, your system is vulnerable. Ensure you update to Origin 2026b SR1 or later to address the issue.

Impact Analysis

This vulnerability can allow attackers to execute arbitrary code on your system with the same privileges as the current user. If you are running a vulnerable version of OriginLab OriginPro, opening a malicious OGG file could lead to system compromise, data theft, or further malware installation. The impact depends on the user's privileges and system configuration.

Compliance Impact

This vulnerability could potentially impact compliance with GDPR and HIPAA by allowing unauthorized code execution on systems handling sensitive data. Exploitation may lead to data breaches, unauthorized access, or data integrity issues, which are critical violations under these regulations.

Mitigation Strategies

Immediately update OriginLab OriginPro to version 2026b SR1 or later. Avoid opening OGG files from untrusted sources. If you cannot update immediately, restrict user access to potentially malicious files and monitor for unusual activity.
