Zombie Vorbis: Resurrecting 2019 Exploits in 2026 via Turso3D

Vulnerability ID: CVE-2026-24826
CVSS Score: 10.0
Published: 2026-01-27

A critical dependency lag vulnerability in the Turso3D engine resurrects a ghostly squad of seven distinct security flaws from 2019. By failing to update the bundled stb_vorbis.h library, the engine exposes users to a CVSS 10.0 cocktail of Remote Code Execution (RCE), Heap Overflows, and Stack Smashing via malicious Ogg Vorbis audio files.

TL;DR

Turso3D bundled an ancient version of stb_vorbis containing seven known critical vulnerabilities. Attackers can achieve RCE by providing a malicious .ogg file. Fix involves updating the header library.
