What is CVE-2026-85444?

The MOOS-IvP software suite, specifically through version 24.8.1, presents a buffer over-read vulnerability affecting the functions isQuoted(), isBraced(), and isChevroned(). This vulnerability arises due to improper management of whitespace when processing NODE_REPORT messages, allowing attackers to potentially read beyond allocated buffers and access adjacent memory. By exploiting this weakness, malicious parties could manipulate inputs with leading or trailing whitespace, thereby endangering the integrity and security of the application.
