Description

CVE-2026-58265 is an out-of-bounds read vulnerability in the BACnet Stack open source protocol library for embedded systems. The flaw occurs in the BACnet/SC header-option decoder where a BACnet/SC peer can trigger a heap read of up to 3 bytes before authentication. This happens because the function bvlc_sc_decode_proprietary_option() reads fixed offsets without verifying the option's declared header length, and the option-list validator does not enforce a minimum length for proprietary options. The issue has been fixed in versions 1.4.5, 1.5.1, and 1.6.0.
