Description
CVE-2026-104067 is an out-of-bounds memory access vulnerability in Scribus versions before 1.6.7. It occurs in the importsvm plugin when it fails to verify that bitmap and transparency mask dimensions match. An attacker can craft a malicious SVM file with mismatched mask dimensions to trigger heap reads and writes, potentially causing application crashes or arbitrary code execution under the user's privileges.
