{"cve":"CVE-2026-48490","nvd":{"published":"2026-09-11T21:17:10.100","modified":"2026-09-30T19:57:08.043","status":"Deferred","description":"ArduinoCore-avr contains the source code and configuration files of the Arduino AVR Boards platform. A vulnerability in versions prior to 1.8.8 allows an attacker to trigger a stack-based buffer overflow when concatenating floating-point values of sufficiently large magnitude onto an Arduino String object. By passing values near the extremes of the float or double range to `String::concat(float)`, `String::concat(double)`, `String::operator+=()`, or the `+` operator with a float/double operand, `dtostrf()` writes beyond the fixed-size stack buffer, causing memory corruption and denial of service. Under specific conditions, this could enable arbitrary code execution on AVR-based Arduino boards. The fix is included starting from the `1.8.8 `release.","cvss_v4":{"vector":"CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:L/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N","score":6.9},"cvss_v3":null,"cwes":["CWE-120"],"references":["https://github.com/arduino/ArduinoCore-avr/pull/622/changes/9492e146880d2b05d9cb9191f1bfb2c872a48404","https://github.com/arduino/ArduinoCore-avr/releases/tag/1.8.8","https://github.com/arduino/ArduinoCore-avr/security/advisories/GHSA-fhp2-f8hw-mgpj"],"products":[],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-19T22:53:43.293028046+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2026-48490","score":0.00668,"percentile":0.51619,"date":"2026-10-25"},"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).
