CVE-2026-97185

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions GIMP (affected versions not specified)

Description A flaw exists in the GIMPressionist plug-in where vector indices are not properly validated before being written into fixed-size arrays when processing a specially crafted preset file. This failure can result in an out-of-bounds write, which is a condition where data is written outside the intended memory boundary, leading to memory corruption. An attacker could exploit this by tricking a user into loading a malicious preset file, potentially causing the application to crash or allowing arbitrary code execution.

Recommendations At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
