openFPGALoader is a utility for programming FPGAs. In 1.1.1 and earlier, a heap-buffer-overflow read vulnerability exists in BitParser::parseHeader() that allows out-of-bounds heap memory access when parsing a crafted .bit file. No FPGA hardware is required to trigger this vulnerability.
The CVSS severity warrants an early asset and exposure review.

Confirm exposure before applying a vendor-supported change.
Confirm that trabucayre openFPGALoader, openfpgaloader and an affected version are present.
Combine exploitation signals with asset exposure and business criticality.
Follow the vendor advisory or supported update path and preserve rollback options.
Recheck the version, service health, access paths, and relevant logs.
