Description
A vulnerability was found in GPAC up to f1219cde. The affected element is the function gf_sg_script_load of the file scenegraph/vrml_tools.c of the component MP4Box. Performing a manipulation results in use after free. It is possible to initiate the attack remotely. The exploit has been made public and could be used. Upgrading to version abi-16.23 is sufficient to fix this issue. The patch is named 9eb40df4448b88d6a6ce3454657c06f47eff0b24. It is advisable to upgrade the affected component.
Detection & mitigation playbook
VulnerabilityDetect
Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for the affected component. 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.
Remediation status
No patched version of the affected component has shipped for CVE-2026-90794 yet. Where your build allows, override or pin the dependency away from the vulnerable range, and apply any maintainer-recommended mitigation.
Mitigate without a patch
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-2026-90794 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-2026-90794. Runtime protection reduces exposure until a permanent patch is applied and verified — it complements patching, it doesn't replace it.
