CVE-2026-1465 is a vulnerability classified under CWE-119, indicating improper restriction of operations within the bounds of a memory buffer in the anyRTC-RTMP-OpenSource project. The flaw is located in the third_party/faad2-2.7/libfaad modules, specifically in the bits.C and syntax.C source files. This vulnerability affects all versions of anyRTC-RTMP-OpenSource prior to 1.0. The issue arises when the software fails to properly enforce boundaries on memory buffer operations, which can lead to buffer overflows or memory corruption. Such memory corruption can be exploited by attackers to execute arbitrary code, cause denial of service, or leak sensitive information. The CVSS 4.0 score is 8.7, indicating a high severity with attack vector local, low attack complexity, partial privileges required, and user interaction needed. The vulnerability impacts confidentiality, integrity, and availability at a high level. Although no known exploits are currently reported in the wild, the vulnerability's nature and severity make it a critical risk for environments using this software. The vulnerability is published and assigned by GovTech CSG, with no patches currently linked, indicating that remediation may require vendor updates or manual code review and fixes. The software is used in real-time media streaming contexts, which are critical for communication infrastructures.

For European organizations, the impact of CVE-2026-1465 can be significant, especially those relying on anyRTC-RTMP-OpenSource for real-time streaming or communication services. Exploitation could lead to unauthorized code execution, data leakage, or service outages, affecting business continuity and data privacy compliance under GDPR. The high severity and potential for memory corruption mean attackers could compromise systems to pivot within networks or disrupt critical communication channels. Industries such as media, telecommunications, and any sector using real-time video or audio streaming could face operational disruptions. Additionally, the requirement for local access and user interaction somewhat limits remote exploitation but does not eliminate risk from insider threats or social engineering attacks. The lack of current exploits reduces immediate risk but does not preclude future weaponization. Organizations must consider the vulnerability's impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability, as well as regulatory implications of data breaches resulting from exploitation.

European organizations should implement the following specific mitigations: 1) Monitor vendor communications closely for patches or updates to anyRTC-RTMP-OpenSource and apply them promptly once available. 2) Conduct thorough code audits and security reviews of anyRTC-RTMP-OpenSource integrations, focusing on the third_party/faad2-2.7/libfaad modules, to identify and remediate unsafe memory operations. 3) Restrict local access to systems running vulnerable versions to trusted users only and enforce strict user privilege management to minimize the risk of exploitation. 4) Implement application whitelisting and runtime protection mechanisms to detect and prevent anomalous memory operations or code execution attempts. 5) Educate users about the risk of social engineering that could lead to user interaction necessary for exploitation. 6) Employ network segmentation to isolate critical streaming infrastructure and limit lateral movement in case of compromise. 7) Use memory protection features available in the operating system, such as DEP (Data Execution Prevention) and ASLR (Address Space Layout Randomization), to mitigate exploitation impact. 8) Maintain up-to-date backups and incident response plans tailored to streaming service disruptions.
