CVE-2019-25701
Published: 12 April 2026
Summary
CVE-2019-25701 is a high-severity Out-of-bounds Write (CWE-787) vulnerability in Ether Software Easy Video To Ipod Converter. Its CVSS base score is 8.6 (High).
Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Exploitation for Client Execution (T1203); ranked at the 10.9th percentile by exploit likelihood (below the median); it is not currently listed in the CISA KEV catalog; a public proof-of-concept is referenced.
The strongest mitigations our analysis identified are NIST 800-53 SI-10 (Information Input Validation) and SI-16 (Memory Protection).
Deeper analysis
CVE-2019-25701 is a local buffer overflow vulnerability (CWE-787) affecting Easy Video to iPod Converter version 1.6.20. The issue occurs in the user registration field, where attackers can input a crafted payload exceeding 996 bytes in the username field, leading to an overwrite of the structured exception handler (SEH). This flaw has a CVSS v3.1 base score of 8.4 (AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H), indicating high impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability.
Local attackers with access to the affected system can exploit the vulnerability without requiring privileges or user interaction beyond running the application. By supplying the oversized payload during registration, they trigger the SEH overwrite, enabling execution of arbitrary code with the privileges of the user who launches the converter.
References include the vendor site at divxtodvd.net and a direct download link for the vulnerable executable, an Exploit-DB entry (46255) with a proof-of-concept exploit, and a Vulncheck advisory describing the local buffer overflow and SEH overwrite. No official patches or vendor-provided mitigations are mentioned in the available details.
