Summary
CVE-2026-3137 is a medium-severity Improper Restriction of Operations within the Bounds of a Memory Buffer (CWE-119) vulnerability in Codeastro Food Ordering System. Its CVSS base score is 5.3 (Medium).
Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Exploitation for Privilege Escalation (T1068); ranked at the 6.0th percentile by exploit likelihood (below the median); it is not currently listed in the CISA KEV catalog; a public proof-of-concept is referenced.
Threat & Defense at a Glance
Threat & Defense Details
Likely Mitigating ControlsAI
Per-CVE control mapping for this CVE has not run yet; the list below is derived from the weakness types (CWEs) cited in the NVD entry.
Memory protections (e.g., W^X, ASLR) make exploitation of buffer-boundary violations far harder to turn into code execution.
Ongoing control assessments and code testing (static/dynamic analysis, fuzzing) surface memory buffer restriction failures, which are then remediated before release.
Managed runtimes used by platform-independent applications (e.g., JVM, CLR) enforce memory safety, preventing most buffer overflows that require direct memory manipulation.
Detects exploitation attempts that produce memory corruption, crashes, or anomalous behavior.
MITRE ATT&CK Enterprise TechniquesAI
Why these techniques?
Local stack-based buffer overflow (CWE-121/119/787) in a client executable allows low-privileged local attackers to corrupt memory and achieve code execution or limited privilege escalation on the host.
NVD Description
A security vulnerability has been detected in CodeAstro Food Ordering System 1.0. This affects an unknown function of the file food_ordering.exe. Such manipulation leads to stack-based buffer overflow. The attack can only be performed from a local environment. The exploit…

Deeper analysisAI
CVE-2026-3137 is a stack-based buffer overflow vulnerability affecting CodeAstro Food Ordering System 1.0, specifically an unknown function within the food_ordering.exe file. The issue, linked to CWEs-119 (Improper Restriction of Operations within the Bounds of a Memory Buffer), CWE-121 (Stack-based Buffer Overflow), and CWE-787 (Out-of-bounds Write), was published on 2026-02-25 and carries a CVSS v3.1 base score of 5.3 (AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:L), rating it as medium severity.
The vulnerability can only be exploited from a local environment by an attacker with low privileges, requiring low attack complexity and no user interaction. Successful exploitation could result in limited impacts, including partial disclosure of sensitive information, limited modification of data, and limited denial of service through partial availability disruption.
