Published Dec 9, 2025 · corrected/updated Oct 15, 2026 · robocode robocode · evidence confidence high

An integer overflow vulnerability exists in the write method of the Buffer class in Robocode version 1.9.3.6. The method fails to properly validate the length of data being written, allowing attackers to cause an overflow, potentially leading to buffer overflows and arbitrary code execution. This vulnerability can be exploited by submitting specially crafted inputs that manipulate the data length, leading to potential unauthorized code execution.

Grounded briefings

Catalog interpretations for three audiences. Each brief cites ingested metadata and the original advisories below. They are not independent research and they do not invent exploit steps.

Executive

CVE-2025-14308 is a critical public vulnerability record for robocode robocode. It is not currently listed in the CISA Known Exploited catalog. Check the linked vendor or CERT advisories for patch status. This summary is a catalog interpretation of the ingested metadata and cites the original advisories below.

System administrator

Identify whether robocode robocode is in your estate, then compare installed versions with the affected ranges. Affected packages or ranges on record: robocode/robocode (1.9.3.6). Check the linked vendor or CERT advisories for patch status. Prefer the vendor or distribution advisory linked in Sources before changing production systems. This is a catalog interpretation, not a runbook.

Security analyst

Signals on file: CVSS 10.0, EPSS 0.6%. It is not currently listed in the CISA Known Exploited catalog. Weakness classes: CWE-190. Sources contributing to this record: cve_org, epss, nvd. Public exploit references, when present, are outbound links only and are not proof of active exploitation. This is a catalog interpretation of stored metadata.
