CVE-2023-25076
CWE-120Published: March 30, 2023· Updated: Jun 17, 2026
Official Description
A buffer overflow vulnerability exists in the handling of wildcard backend hosts of SNIProxy 0.6.0-2 and the master branch (commit: 822bb80df9b7b345cc9eba55df74a07b498819ba). A specially crafted HTTP or TLS packet can lead to arbitrary code execution. An attacker could send a malicious packet to trigger this vulnerability.
Risk Analysis
SNIProxy is susceptible to a buffer overflow when processing wildcard backend hosts, which can lead to arbitrary code execution. This critical flaw allows remote attackers to trigger the issue with specially crafted packets. The 9.8 CVSS score reflects the potential for full system control.
No public exploit is known for this vulnerability, and it is not in the KEV catalog. It is remotely exploitable with low complexity.
Upgrade SNIProxy to a version where this buffer overflow is addressed. Monitor network traffic for anomalous TLS or HTTP packets.
Technical Analysis
CVE-2023-25076 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.
