When parsing crafted proxy configuration entries containing overly long username or password fields, the application may write beyond the bounds of fixed-size stack buffers, leading to memory corruption or crashes. This vulnerability may allow denial of service and, under certain conditions, could be leveraged for further exploitation depending on the execution environment and applied mitigations.","cvss_v4":{"vector":"CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N","score":6.9},"cvss_v3":{"version":"3.1","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","score":7.8},"cwes":["CWE-787","CWE-121"],"references":["https://github.com/httpsgithu/proxychains-ng/commit/cc005b7","https://github.com/marlinkcyber/advisories/blob/main/advisories/MCSAID-2025-008-proxychains-ng-stack-buffer-overflow-proxy_from_string.md","https://github.com/rofl0r/proxychains-ng/issues/606","https://www.vulncheck.com/advisories/rofl0r-proxychains-ng-stack-based-buffer-overflow","https://github.com/marlinkcyber/advisories/blob/main/advisories/MCSAID-2025-008-proxychains-ng-stack-buffer-overflow-proxy_from_string.md"],"products":["proxychains-ng_project:proxychains-ng"],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-19T22:17:07.138532058+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2025-34451","score":0.00266,"percentile":0.1861,"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).
