CVE-2025-7425
A flaw was found in libxslt where the attribute type, atype, flags are modified in a way that corrupts internal memory management. When XSLT functions, such as the key() process, result in tree fragments, this corruption prevents the proper cleanup of ID attributes. As a result, the system may access freed memory, causing crashes or enabling attackers to trigger heap corruption.

Submit a proof of concept
Only for publicly disclosed vulnerabilities, and only material from testing you were authorised to perform. This platform does not buy, sell, or broker exploits — see earning from vulnerability research for legitimate bounty programs. Submissions are reviewed before they appear.
