CVE-2024-38517

Date: July 9, 2024

Tencent RapidJSON is vulnerable to privilege escalation due to an integer underflow in the "GenericReader::ParseNumber()" function of "include/rapidjson/reader.h" when parsing JSON text from a stream. An attacker needs to send the victim a crafted file which needs to be opened; this triggers the integer underflow vulnerability (when the file is parsed), leading to elevation of privilege.
