A stack overflow vulnerability exists in the pycdc tool within the ASTree.cpp component. This critical flaw could potentially lead to arbitrary code execution if triggered by a malicious input.

There is no public exploit known, and it is not in the CISA KEV. It is remotely exploitable.

Recommended Action

Ensure the pycdc tool is updated to a version that addresses the stack overflow in ASTree.cpp.

Generated by the CTIWATCH analysis pipeline from this CVE's metadata (CVSS, EPSS, KEV status, exploit intelligence). Verify against vendor advisories before acting.

Technical Analysis

CVE-2022-48078 can be exploited remotely over the network without requiring physical or adjacent access, significantly expanding the attack surface for threat actors.

The vulnerability requires no privileges and no user interaction, making it a prime target for automated exploitation campaigns and worm-like propagation.

A successful exploit results in complete confidentiality breach (data exposure), full integrity compromise (data manipulation), availability disruption (denial of service), with a CVSS base score of 9.8.

From a weakness classification perspective (CWE-787): Out-of-bounds write vulnerabilities can lead to data corruption, crashes, or arbitrary code execution.
