CVE-2024-39684
Tencent RapidJSON include/rapidjson/reader.h GenericReader::ParseNumber() Function Template Exponent Parsing Integer Overflow
Tencent RapidJSON is vulnerable to privilege escalation due to an integer overflow in the GenericReader::ParseNumber() function of include/rapidjson/reader.h when parsing JSON text from a stream. An attacker needs to send the victim a crafted file which needs to be opened; this triggers the integer overflow vulnerability (when the file is parsed), leading to elevation of privilege.

rapidjson vulnerability
It was discovered that RapidJSON did not properly protect against integer overflows in certain instances when parsing JSON text. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to craft a malicious JSON file, that when read by RapidJSON, would lead to an elevation of privilege, resulting in the potential disclosure of sensitive information.
