and arbitrary code execution. This vulnerability can be exploited by submitting specially crafted inputs that manipulate the data length, leading to potential unauthorized code execution.
Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5)AI
SI-10 requires validation of information inputs, directly preventing integer overflows from specially crafted data lengths in the Buffer write method.
SI-2 mandates identification, reporting, and correction of system flaws, directly addressing the integer overflow vulnerability through patching as indicated by the available pull request.
SI-16 implements memory protections that prevent arbitrary code execution resulting from buffer overflows triggered by the integer overflow.
Security SummaryAI
CVE-2025-14308 is an integer overflow vulnerability (CWE-190) in the write method of the Buffer class in Robocode version 1.9.3.6, published on 2025-12-09. The method fails to properly validate the length of data being written, allowing attackers to trigger an overflow that can lead to buffer overflows and arbitrary code execution.
The vulnerability carries a CVSS v3.1 base score of 9.8 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H), making it exploitable over the network with low attack complexity by unauthenticated attackers without requiring user interaction. Attackers can submit specially crafted inputs that manipulate the data length, potentially achieving unauthorized code execution on affected systems.
A pull request addressing the issue is available at https://github.com/robo-code/robocode/pull/70.
