An out-of-bounds write issue was addressed with improved input validation. This issue is fixed in tvOS 26, macOS Sonoma 14.8, macOS Sequoia 15.7, iOS 18.7 and iPadOS 18.7, visionOS 26, watchOS 26, macOS Tahoe 26, iOS 26 and iPadOS 26. Processing a maliciously crafted video file may lead to unexpected app termination.
Impact
A write operation targets a memory location beyond the intended buffer boundary. Typical impact: memory corruption, crash, or arbitrary code execution.
CVE-2025-43349 has a CVSS score of 2.8 (Low). The vector is requires local access, low privileges required, and user interaction required. A CVSS score reflects the worst-case severity of the vulnerability, not your specific exposure. Whether this affects your application depends on whether the vulnerable code is present and reachable in your environment. No fixed version is listed yet, so configuration controls and monitoring matter more in the interim.

Kodem intelligence
Severity tells you how bad this could be in the worst case. It does not tell you whether you are exposed. Exploitability and impact are functions of runtime truth: whether the vulnerable code is present, reachable, and actually executes in your application. A vulnerable package can sit in your dependency tree and never run.
Kodem, an Intelligent Application Security platform, uses runtime intelligence to reveal which vulnerabilities actually execute in production, so teams prioritize the ones that genuinely matter. Kodem's runtime-powered SCA identifies whether this CVE is reachable in your applications.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What is CVE-2025-43349? CVE-2025-43349 is a low-severity out-of-bounds write vulnerability. No fixed version is listed yet. A write operation targets a memory location beyond the intended buffer boundary.
- How severe is CVE-2025-43349? CVE-2025-43349 has a CVSS score of 2.8 (Low). This score reflects the worst-case severity of the vulnerability, not your specific exposure. Whether it represents real risk in your environment depends on whether the vulnerable code is present and reachable.
- Is there a fix for CVE-2025-43349? No fixed version is listed for CVE-2025-43349 yet. Monitor the advisory for updates and apply mitigations in the interim.
- Is CVE-2025-43349 exploitable, and should I be worried? Whether CVE-2025-43349 is exploitable in your environment depends on whether the vulnerable code is present and reachable. A CVSS score is a worst-case rating; it does not account for your specific deployment, configuration, or usage patterns. Kodem, an Intelligent Application Security platform, uses runtime intelligence to show which vulnerabilities actually execute in production, so you can focus on the ones that represent real risk.

- What actually determines whether CVE-2025-43349 is exploitable, and how bad it is? Exploitability and impact are not fixed properties of a CVE. They depend on runtime truth: whether the vulnerable code is present, reachable, and actually executes in your application. A high CVSS score on a dependency that never runs is not the same as real risk. Kodem, an Intelligent Application Security platform, uses runtime intelligence to reveal which vulnerabilities actually execute in production, so teams prioritize the ones that genuinely matter.
