Summary
CVE-2025-15534 is a medium-severity Integer Overflow or Wraparound (CWE-190) vulnerability in Raylib Raylib. Its CVSS base score is 4.8 (Medium).
Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Exploitation for Privilege Escalation (T1068); 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 SA-11 (Developer Testing and Evaluation) and SA-8 (Security and Privacy Engineering Principles) — see the control section below for these in your framework.

Synthesised by an AI model from the NVD description and linked references — a reading aid, not an authoritative source.
CVE-2025-15534 is an integer overflow vulnerability (CWE-189, CWE-190) in the LoadFontData function of the src/rtext.c file in the raylib library by raysan5, affecting versions up to commit 909f040. The issue was published on 2026-01-18 and carries a CVSS v3.1 base score of 5.3.
Exploitation requires a local attacker with low privileges (AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U), enabling limited impacts on confidentiality, integrity, and availability (C:L/I:L/A:L). A public exploit is available, which could be leveraged in a local environment.
The recommended mitigation is to apply the patch at commit 5a3391fdce046bc5473e52afbd835dd2dc127146. Additional details are documented in raylib repository issue #5436 and pull request #5450.

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI
Developer testing and evaluation (static analysis, fuzzing, unit tests) directly finds integer overflow defects before deployment.
Secure engineering principles require use of safe arithmetic constructs or language features that structurally eliminate integer overflow during calculation.
Input validation enforces bounds on values before arithmetic, stopping the conditions that trigger overflow or wraparound.

Secure SDLC practices directly require use of safe arithmetic, bounds checks, and testing that prevent integer overflows.

Security testing in development can detect integer overflows before release.
Secure SDLC mandates input validation and arithmetic checks that prevent integer overflows.
Application security requirements include bounds checking and safe arithmetic to avoid overflow conditions.
Secure architecture principles require defensive coding patterns that mitigate integer wraparound risks.
Secure coding standards explicitly forbid unsafe integer operations and mandate overflow-safe constructs.
