# OriginLab Origin Viewer: crafted OPJ file lets attackers run code

Link for people: https://infrastack.ai/live/CVE-2026-114568 (this .md is for agents)

OriginLab Origin Viewer has a heap buffer overflow when parsing OPJ files, because it copies user-supplied data without checking its length. An attacker who gets a user to open a malicious OPJ file or visit a malicious page can execute code in the context of the current process.

_Summary, check and fix written by a model from the sources; labelled as such._

## How to check

Run Origin Viewer (Windows) and check Help > About for the version. Compare it with the fixed version on the OriginLab CVE page docs.originlab.com/cve/CVE-2026-114568 once that page is readable. The fixed version is not confirmed. Also check for OPJ files from untrusted sources.

## Fix

OriginLab says it issued an update (per ZDI-26-885). The fixed version is not stated in any source read. Install the latest Origin Viewer from originlab.com/viewer.

## Timeline

- 2026-11-12T03:46:12+00:00 nvd https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-114568
- 2026-11-12T03:50:48+00:00 analyst https://www.zerodayinitiative.com/advisories/ZDI-26-885/ — ZDI-26-885 (Nov 6) says OriginLab issued an update, linking docs.originlab.com/cve/CVE-2026-114568, which returned nothing. The vendor release notes list 10.4.0.25 (2026-07-30) fixing only CVE-2026-18293/18294/19885/19886, not this CVE. So the fixed version is unknown. Do not assume 10.4.0.25 fixes it. No exploitation or PoC seen.

## From the sources

OriginLab Origin Viewer OPJ File Parsing Heap-based Buffer Overflow Remote Code Execution Vulnerability. This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on affected installations of OriginLab Origin Viewer. User interaction is required to exploit this vulnerability in that the target must visit a malicious page or open a malicious file.

The specific flaw exists within the parsing of OPJ files. The issue results from the lack of proper validation of the length of user-supplied data prior to copying it to a heap-based buffer. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to execute code in the context of the current process. Was ZDI-CAN-31587.
