A vulnerability was determined in NASA Trick 19.6.0. This issue affects the function JSONVariableServerThread::parse_request of the file trick_source/sim_services/JSONVariableServer/JSONVariableServerThread.cpp of the component TCP Socket Handler. This manipulation causes stack-based buffer overflow. The attack is possible to be carried out remotely. The vendor was contacted early about this disclosure but did not respond in any way.
