Acunetix Web Vulnerability Scanner 9.5 – Crash Proof Of Concept
A buffer overflow vulnerability exists in Acunetix Web Vulnerability Scanner 9.5 when a maliciously crafted input is sent to the application. This can be exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow by sending an overly long string to the application when it is processing user-supplied input. This can result in arbitrary code execution.
Mitigation:
Upgrade to the latest version of Acunetix Web Vulnerability Scanner 9.5
