VulnerabilityCVE-2026-20347cvecve-2026-20347
Published: 08/07/2026 (08/07/2026, 16:42:29 UTC)
Source: CVE Database V5
Vendor/Project: Cisco
Product: Cisco Secure Endpoint

Description

A vulnerability in the Mach-O file format parser of ClamAV could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to cause a DoS condition or possibly other expanded impacts as a result of memory corruption on an affected device. This vulnerability is due to improper boundary checks for content in Mach-O files during scanning, which may result in an out-of-bounds buffer read. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by submitting a crafted Mach-O file to be scanned by ClamAV on an affected device. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to cause the ClamAV scanning process to terminate, resulting in a DoS condition on the affected software.

Technical Analysis

This vulnerability arises from improper boundary checks in the Mach-O file parser component of ClamAV integrated into Cisco Secure Endpoint. An attacker can exploit this by submitting a specially crafted Mach-O file to be scanned, triggering an out-of-bounds buffer read. This memory corruption can cause the scanning process to terminate unexpectedly, resulting in a denial-of-service condition. The vulnerability affects multiple specific versions of Cisco Secure Endpoint as listed. There is no vendor advisory or patch information provided, and no known exploits in the wild have been reported.

Potential Impact

Successful exploitation results in denial of service by causing the ClamAV scanning process to crash, potentially disrupting endpoint protection services. There is no indication of confidentiality or integrity impact. The vulnerability requires no privileges and no user interaction, making it remotely exploitable.

Mitigation Recommendations

Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until a fix is available, consider restricting or monitoring the submission of Mach-O files for scanning if feasible.
