music-metadata is a metadata parser for audio and video media files. Prior to 11.16.0, the APEv2 parser reads an attacker-controlled tag-item size and allocates a Uint8Array for a binary item before proving that the declared item fits in the remaining tag or file data. A small crafted APE file can therefore trigger a disproportionate allocation, including through cover-art items, and repeated or concurrent parsing can exhaust process memory. The demonstrated impact is availability loss only. This issue is fixed in version 11.16.0.

Ghostwire Analysis — What This Means Practically

Exploitation Probability (EPSS): Low — 0.19% (8th percentile)

Low exploitation probability based on current threat landscape data. Standard patching timeline is appropriate.

Medium CVSS score indicates moderate risk — exploitation requires specific conditions or results in limited impact.
2 proof-of-concept exploits available on GitHub. Public exploit code lowers the barrier for both researchers and attackers.

This analysis is generated by Ghostwire from NVD, CISA KEV, EPSS, and open-source intelligence data. Verify findings through primary sources before acting.
