## Summary

The OriginLab Origin Viewer software has a heap-based buffer overflow when parsing OPJ files, which can let an attacker run arbitrary code within the current process. The attacker must get a user to open a malicious file or visit a malicious page, so the attack is delivered locally and requires user interaction.

Model-written summary (anthropic/claude-haiku-5.5). Verify details against the original sources.

## Who should check

Teams running OriginLab Origin Viewer that open OPJ files, including anyone handling untrusted OPJ files or visiting pages that serve them.

## Affected

- OriginLab Origin Viewer: 9.9.5

## Description

OriginLab Origin Viewer OPJ File Parsing Heap-based Buffer Overflow Remote Code Execution Vulnerability. This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on affected installations of OriginLab Origin Viewer. User interaction is required to exploit this vulnerability in that the target must visit a malicious page or open a malicious file. The specific flaw exists within the parsing of OPJ files. The issue results from the lack of proper validation of the length of user-supplied data prior to copying it to a heap-based buffer. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to execute code in the context of the current process. Was ZDI-CAN-31587.

## Check your systems with an agent

```text
Check whether my systems are affected by CVE-2026-114568 (OriginLab Origin Viewer OPJ File Parsing Heap-based Buffer Overflow Remote Code Execution Vulnerability), using the cve.now data below.

Rules: work read-only. Do not run exploit code, proof-of-concept scripts or scanners that send attack payloads, and do not change any configuration, package, image or deployment. Report findings only.

What cve.now has for CVE-2026-114568 (entry last updated 2026-11-12):
Affected:
- OriginLab Origin Viewer: versions 9.9.5
Fixed versions: none listed yet.
Setup: unknown whether the bug needs a non-default feature or setting. Check the advisory.
Attacker needs: local access, no login, a user action.
CISA KEV: CVE-2026-114568 is not listed as of cve.now's last read.
This KEV status is for CVE-2026-114568 only. If you also check another CVE, look up its own KEV status; never assume it from this one.

How to check:
- Installed software: check what is actually running, not what a repo declares. Read the version from each host, container image and Kubernetes node (the binary's version output, the OS package database, image layers), and check whether the conditions above hold there. Distribution packages may carry a backported fix under an older version number; confirm against the distribution's own advisory.

Verify against the linked advisories before concluding, and cite the date you read each one:
- https://docs.originlab.com/cve/CVE-2026-114568
- https://www.zerodayinitiative.com/advisories/ZDI-26-885/
Do not conclude an asset is unaffected unless you checked it and the evidence covers both its version and the conditions above. If you could not check something, mark it unknown and say what is missing.

Report a table with one row per asset and these columns: Asset | Version or build | Status (affected, fixed, not applicable, unknown) | Compensating controls | Exposure (internet-facing, internal, none) | Evidence | Next action.
