Summary

CVE-2026-42199 is a medium-severity Integer Overflow or Wraparound (CWE-190) vulnerability. Its CVSS base score is 6.2 (Medium).

Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Exploitation for Privilege Escalation (T1068); ranked at the 3th percentile by exploit likelihood (below the median); it is not currently listed in the CISA KEV catalog.

The strongest mitigations our analysis identified map to SI-2 (Flaw Remediation) and SI-10 (Information Input Validation) — see the control section below for these in your framework.

Vulnerability Data

Grid is a data structure grid for rust. From version 0.17.0 to before version 1.0.1, an integer overflow in Grid::expand_rows() can corrupt the relationship between the grid’s logical dimensions and its backing storage. After the internal invariant is broken, the…

safe API get() may invoke get_unchecked() with an invalid index, resulting in Undefined Behavior. This issue has been patched in version 1.0.1.

MITRE ATT&CK Enterprise TechniquesAI

T1068 Exploitation for Privilege Escalation Privilege Escalation
Adversaries may exploit software vulnerabilities in an attempt to elevate privileges.
T1203 Exploitation for Client Execution Execution
Adversaries may exploit software vulnerabilities in client applications to execute code.
Why these techniques?

Integer overflow triggers UB/memory corruption in library API, directly enabling local exploitation for privilege escalation or client-side code execution.

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI

prevent

Directly requires applying the vendor patch (v1.0.1) that eliminates the integer overflow in expand_rows().

prevent

Requires validation of inputs that drive row/column expansion so that arithmetic cannot overflow and break the grid invariant.

prevent

Enforces memory-safety protections that would contain or block the out-of-bounds access performed by the unsafe get_unchecked() call after the invariant is broken.

detects

Security testing in development can detect integer overflows before release.

prevents

Secure SDLC mandates input validation and arithmetic checks that prevent integer overflows.

degrades

Application security requirements include bounds checking and safe arithmetic to avoid overflow conditions.

degrades

Secure architecture principles require defensive coding patterns that mitigate integer wraparound risks.

prevents

Secure coding standards explicitly forbid unsafe integer operations and mandate overflow-safe constructs.
