Buffer overflow in OPC UA applications allows remote attackers to trigger a stack overflow with carefully structured requests.
CVE-2018-12086
This high-severity CVE scores 7.5 under NVD CVSS v3. EPSS exploit probability: 11.6%, top 4% of all CVEs by exploit prediction. GitHub Security Advisory data not yet ingested — confidence will rise once GHSA publishes (typical lag: hours to days for open-source ecosystem CVEs; never for infrastructure-only CVEs).
- High severity, but no confirmed exploitation yet
No vendor fix yet — apply a workaround or compensating control (WAF / firewall / segmentation) and watch for a patch.
