CVE-2026-42476: Opencascade Open Cascade Technology

High severity, CVSS 7.1. EPSS: 0.1% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

Two heap-based out-of-bounds read vulnerabilities in the STL ASCII file parser in Open CASCADE Technology (OCCT) V8_0_0_rc5 exist in RWStl_Reader::ReadAscii because buffers returned by Standard_ReadLineBuffer::ReadLine() are not properly length-validated before strncasecmp or direct byte access. User-assisted attackers can trigger these issues by persuading a victim to open a crafted STL file with extremely short lines, resulting in a denial of service or possible information disclosure.

Affected products

• Opencascade Open Cascade Technology: up to and including 7.9.3; version 8.0.0 only
