EchelonGraph scoreMEDIUM confidence

This high-severity CVE scores 7.8 under NVD CVSS v3. EPSS exploit probability: 0.2%, top 91% of all CVEs by exploit prediction. GitHub Security Advisory data not yet ingested — confidence will rise once GHSA publishes (typical lag: hours to days for open-source ecosystem CVEs; never for infrastructure-only CVEs).

A fix is available — apply it.

OpenImageIO is a toolset for reading, writing, and manipulating image files of any image file format relevant to VFX / animation. Prior to 3.0.18.0 and 3.1.13.0, a heap-based buffer overflow in the HEIF decoder of OpenImageIO allows out-of-bounds writes via crafted images due to a subimage metadata mismatch, leading to memory corruption and potential code execution. This vulnerability is fixed in 3.0.18.0 and 3.1.13.0.
