CVE-2019-25571: MediaMonkey 4.1.23 Denial of Service via Malformed URL

MediaMonkey 4.1.23 contains a denial of service vulnerability that allows local attackers to crash the application by opening a specially crafted MP3 file containing an excessively long URL string. Attackers can create a malicious MP3 file with a buffer containing 4000 bytes of data appended to a URL, which causes the application to crash when the file is opened through the File > Open URL dialog.

Security readout for executives and security teams

Plain-English summary

CVE-2019-25571 is a crash-only vulnerability in MediaMonkey 4.1.23.1881. A malformed MP3/URL input can cause the application to stop working. The business impact is availability loss for the local user, not confirmed data theft or system takeover.

Executive priority

Treat as routine endpoint hygiene unless MediaMonkey is widely deployed or used with untrusted media. Prioritize inventory and upgrade decisions over emergency response.

Technical view

The sources describe a denial-of-service issue in MediaMonkey 4.1.23.1881 triggered by an excessively long URL string associated with an MP3 opened through the application. CVSS v4.0 is 6.9 with high vulnerable-system availability impact. No source names confidentiality or integrity impact.

Likely exposure

Exposure is most likely on endpoints still running MediaMonkey 4.1.23.1881 and processing untrusted media or URL inputs. The source bundle does not identify other affected versions or platforms.

Exploitation context

An ExploitDB reference exists, indicating public proof-of-concept information. The CVE is not marked CISA KEV in the provided data, and no cited source states active exploitation in the wild.

Researcher notes

The advisory data ties the issue to MediaMonkey 4.1.23.1881 and a malformed long URL causing application crash. The listed CWE-226 appears unusual for a denial-of-service buffer condition; verify against primary records before relying on CWE mapping.

Mitigation direction

  • Inventory endpoints for MediaMonkey 4.1.23.1881.
  • Check MediaMonkey vendor guidance for fixed or supported versions.
  • Avoid opening untrusted MP3 files or URL inputs in affected versions.
  • Remove or upgrade unsupported legacy installations where business use is unnecessary.

Validation and detection

  • Confirm installed MediaMonkey version on managed endpoints.
  • Review software inventory for MediaMonkey 4.1.23.1881.
  • Check whether users handle untrusted media files.
  • Monitor endpoint crash reports involving MediaMonkey.
