CVE-2026-110715 Artifex Software CVE debrief
MuJS 1.3.6 before 1.3.9 contains a heap out-of-bounds read and write vulnerability in Array.prototype.sort that allows attackers to corrupt memory by inflating a simple array's length. This issue can lead to potential memory corruption and process crashes. Defenders should assess potential exposure and impact, focusing on systems and applications using MuJS 1.3.6 before 1.3.9. The vulnerability is caused by inadequate handling of array lengths during the sorting process, which can be exploited to access and modify memory outside the buffer. To mitigate this vulnerability, defenders should prioritize verifying exposure, assessing potential impact, and updating to version 1.3.9 or a

They should review system and application configurations, check for MuJS 1.3.6 before 1.3.9 usage, and monitor for potential anomalies. Additionally, they should plan for vendor-sup
Why it matters
CVE-2026-110715 is a medium-severity vulnerability in MuJS 1.3.6 before 1.3.9, allowing for heap out-of-bounds read and write via Array.prototype.sort. Defenders should prioritize verifying exposure, assessing potential impact, and updating to version 1.3.9 or later.
- Potential memory corruption and process crashes
- Possible data integrity issues
- Required verification of exposure and impact
- Necessity to update MuJS to version 1.3.9 or later
Technical summary
The vulnerability is a heap out-of-bounds read and write issue in MuJS 1.3.6 before 1.3.9, specifically in the Array.prototype.sort method. This allows attackers to corrupt memory by manipulating array lengths. The issue arises from inadequate handling of array lengths during sorting, enabling attackers to access and modify memory outside the buffer. To address this vulnerability, defenders should focus on updating to version 1.3.9 or later and enhancing monitoring and detection capabilities. The technical details of the vulnerability
Defensive priority
Defenders should prioritize verifying exposure and assessing potential impact, focusing on systems and applications using MuJS 1.3.6 before 1.3.9.
Recommended defensive actions
- Verify MuJS version and assess exposure
- Review and update MuJS to version 1.3.9 or later
- Monitor systems and applications using MuJS for potential impact
- Check relevant monitoring, detection, and logs for exposed assets that need extra review
- Track exceptions, retest remediated assets, and close the item only after evidence is documented
- Plan vendor-supported updates or mitigations through normal change control where exposure is confirmed
- Review compensating controls for exposed systems while remediation is scheduled and verified
Evidence notes
The CVE record and source item provide details on the vulnerability, including its description and affected versions. However, additional information on exploitation and impact is limited. Defenders should verify exposure and assess potential impact by reviewing system and application configurations, checking for MuJS 1.3.6 before 1.3.9 usage, and monitoring for potential anomalies. The lack of detailed information on exploitation and impact necessitates a cautious approach, focusing on updating to version 1.3.9 or later and enhancing
