In affected versions several overflows may occur in switch case '[' when the input pattern contains many escaped characters.

There are no known workarounds for this vulnerability.","cvss_v4":{"vector":"CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:L/VI:L/VA:L/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N","score":4.8},"cvss_v3":null,"cwes":["CWE-121"],"references":["http://editorconfig.org","https://github.com/editorconfig/editorconfig-core-c/commit/4d5518a0a4e4910c37281ab13a048d0d86999782","https://github.com/editorconfig/editorconfig-core-c/commit/a8dd5312e08abeab95ff5656d32ed3cb85fba70b","https://github.com/editorconfig/editorconfig-core-c/pull/103","https://github.com/editorconfig/editorconfig-core-c/security/advisories/GHSA-475j-wc37-6274"],"products":[],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-19T21:57:34.731061660+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2024-53849","score":0.00204,"percentile":0.10441,"date":"2026-10-31"},"kev":null,"osv":[],"attribution":["This product uses the NVD API but is not endorsed or certified by the NVD.","EPSS scores: FIRST Exploit Prediction Scoring System, https://www.first.org/epss","Known exploited vulnerabilities: CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities Catalog, https://www.cisa.gov/known-exploited-vulnerabilities-catalog","Package advisories: OSV (https://osv.dev), from the GitHub Advisory Database, PyPA, Go, RustSec and other ecosystem databases, under CC-BY 4.0 or CC0","CVE records: the CVE Program's CVE List (https://www.cve.org), under its terms of use (https://www.cve.org/Legal/TermsOfUse).
