CVE-2026-14760 is a low-severity Improper Restriction of Operations within the Bounds of a Memory Buffer (CWE-119) vulnerability in Radare Radare2. Its CVSS base score is 1.9 (Low).
Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Exploitation for Privilege Escalation (T1068); ranked at the 6th 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.

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI
Directly requires timely application of the vendor patch (8b25c773) that eliminates the use-after-free in r_core_seek_arch_bits.
Employs memory-protection techniques (ASLR, DEP, etc.) that block reliable exploitation of the CWE-416 use-after-free and CWE-119 buffer issues.
Restricts the privileges of the local process invoking radare2, limiting the impact of any successful use-after-free exploit.
