CVE-2026-18397 (GCVE-0-2026-18397)
Vulnerability from cvelistv5
Published
2026-10-01 21:49
Modified
2026-10-02 19:42
CWE
  • CWE-347 - Improper verification of cryptographic signature
  • CWE-130 - Improper handling of length parameter inconsistency
  • CWE-457 - Use of uninitialized variable
  • CWE-252 - Unchecked return value
Summary
This vulnerability enables unauthenticated remote code execution (RCE) on a victim's machine by exploiting a combination of cryptographic weaknesses and memory management issues in the SConnect native host component. The attack leverages an unrestricted messaging interface between an attacker-controlled web page and the native host, allowing malicious input to bypass security checks.
