Easy CD & DVD Cover Creator 4.13 contains a buffer overflow vulnerability in the serial number input field that allows attackers to crash the application. Attackers can generate a 6000-byte payload and paste it into the serial number field to trigger an application crash.
Executive Summary:
A critical buffer overflow vulnerability, identified as CVE-2020-36940, exists in multiple Easy CD products. An attacker can exploit this flaw by providing an overly long string in the serial number input field, which could allow them to execute arbitrary code on the affected system, leading to a full system compromise. Due to the critical severity (CVSS 9.8), this vulnerability poses a significant risk to the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the host machine.
Vulnerability Details
CVE-ID: CVE-2020-36940
Affected Software: Easy CD Multiple Products
Affected Versions: Easy CD & DVD Cover Creator version 4.13 and potentially other products. See vendor advisory for a complete list of affected versions.
Vulnerability: The vulnerability is a classic stack-based buffer overflow in the component that processes the serial number input. When a user enters a serial number, the application allocates a fixed-size buffer in memory to store it. An attacker can craft a malicious string significantly longer than this buffer (e.g., 6000 bytes) and paste it into the input field. This action overwrites the buffer's boundaries, corrupting adjacent memory on the stack, which can include the saved return address. While the immediate described symptom is an application crash (Denial of Service), this memory corruption is exploitable. A skilled attacker can precisely control the overwritten data to hijack the program's execution flow, redirecting it to malicious code (shellcode) also included in their payload, resulting in arbitrary code execution with the privileges of the user running the application.
Business Impact
This vulnerability is rated as critical severity with a CVSS score of 9.8, indicating a high potential for severe business impact. Successful exploitation could lead to a complete compromise of the workstation where the software is installed. An attacker could install malware such as ransomware or spyware, exfiltrate sensitive company or personal data, or use the compromised machine as a pivot point to move laterally across the network and attack other internal systems. The potential consequences include significant data breaches, financial loss, operational disruption, and reputational damage.
