Summary

CVE-2025-11014 is a low-severity Improper Restriction of Operations within the Bounds of a Memory Buffer (CWE-119) vulnerability in Ogre3D Ogre. Its CVSS base score is 1.9 (Low).

Operationally, ranked at the 13th 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 map to SI-16 (Memory Protection) and SI-2 (Flaw Remediation) — see the control section below for these in your framework.

Vulnerability Data

A security flaw has been discovered in OGRECave Ogre up to 14.4.1. This issue affects the function STBIImageCodec::encode of the file /ogre/PlugIns/STBICodec/src/OgreSTBICodec.cpp of the component Image Handler. The manipulation results in heap-based buffer overflow. The attack is only possible with…

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI

prevent

Memory protection mechanisms (ASLR, DEP, guard pages) directly block exploitation of the heap-based buffer overflow in STBIImageCodec::encode.

prevent

Strict validation and bounds-checking on image data passed to the codec would have prevented the out-of-bounds write that triggers the overflow.

respondrecover

Rapid application of vendor patches eliminates the publicly disclosed vulnerable code in Ogre <= 14.4.1.

detects

Security testing in development catches out-of-bounds accesses before release, covering most instances of the weakness.

prevents

Secure development lifecycle mandates memory-safety practices that directly prevent buffer-boundary violations.

prevents

Application security requirements can specify memory-safety rules, but do not prescribe implementation details.

prevents

Secure architecture and engineering principles include memory-safe design patterns that mitigate buffer overflows.

prevents

Secure coding standards explicitly forbid unsafe buffer operations, directly eliminating CWE-119.

prevents

Change management can enforce review gates that catch unsafe memory operations before deployment.
