CVE-2026-51263
schreibfaul1 ESP32-audioI2S Heap Buffer Overflow
Description
schreibfaul1 ESP32-audioI2S 3.4.5 is vulnerable to Buffer Overflow. The Audio::openai_speech function in the Audio library manually constructs JSON request bodies and HTTP request headers by directly concatenating externally controllable input and instructions strings without effective length restriction and boundary validation. An unauthenticated remote attacker can send oversized malicious string data to trigger a heap buffer overflow during string splicing, resulting in memory corruption.
