Summary
Heap-based buffer overflow in WinHex 12.05 SR-14, and possibly other versions, may allow attackers to execute arbitrary code via a long file name argument. NOTE: since this overflow is in the command line of an unprivileged program, it is highly likely that this is not a vulnerability.
Exploit prediction
2.04% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days, higher than 81% of all scored CVEs (FIRST EPSS, 2026-11-08).
