CVE-2022-38216
HIGHCVE-2022-38216 is a high-severity (CVSS 7.5) CWE-190 vulnerability in com.mapbox.mapboxsdk:mapbox-android-core. O3 Security confirms whether CVE-2022-38216 is actually reachable in your code before you act, and blocks exploitation at runtime until you patch.
Mapbox is vulnerable to Integer Overflow
Real-World Exposure
com.mapbox.mapboxsdk:mapbox-android-coreReal-time download stats are indexed for npm and PyPI packages. This vulnerability affects Maven packages — download data is not available via public APIs for these ecosystems.
Description
An integer overflow exists in Mapbox's closed source gl-native library prior to version 10.6.1, which is bundled with multiple Mapbox products including open source libraries. The overflow is caused by large image height and width values when creating a new Image and allows for out of bounds writes, potentially crashing the Mapbox process.
Affected Packages
| Ecosystem | Package | Vulnerable range | Fix |
|---|---|---|---|
| ☕Maven | com.mapbox.mapboxsdk:mapbox-android-core | all versions | 10.6.1 |
Detection & mitigation playbook
Open-source dependencyDetect
Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for com.mapbox.mapboxsdk:mapbox-android-core. O3's reachability analysis confirms whether the vulnerable code path is actually invoked in your application, so you act on real exposure instead of every transitive match.
Fix
Update com.mapbox.mapboxsdk:mapbox-android-core to 10.6.1 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms CVE-2022-38216 is resolved across your whole dependency graph.
Workarounds
If you can't upgrade right away: gate or disable the affected feature, validate untrusted input at the boundary, and avoid passing attacker-controlled data into the vulnerable path. O3's runtime protection blocks exploitation in production as an interim safeguard until the upgrade lands.
How O3 protects you
O3 pinpoints whether CVE-2022-38216 is reachable in your code and exactly where to fix it, then blocks exploitation in production at runtime until the patched version is deployed.
Tailored to CVE-2022-38216. Runtime protection reduces exposure until a permanent patch is applied and verified — it complements patching, it doesn't replace it.
