GPAC MP4Box v2.4 was discovered to contain a NULL pointer dereference in the gf_isom_add_track_kind() function at isomedia/isom_write.c. This vulnerability allows attackers to cause a Denial of Service (DoS) via a crafted MP4 file.
Security readout for executives and security teams
CVE-2025-55639 is a denial-of-service issue in GPAC MP4Box v2.4. A specially crafted MP4 file can crash processing by triggering a NULL pointer dereference. The main business risk is disruption to services or workflows that automatically process untrusted media files. Exposure is most likely in systems running GPAC MP4Box v2.4 or embedded GPAC components that ingest, validate, transform, or package MP4 files from users or external parties. Treat as a near-term operational resilience issue, not a data-theft emergency. Prioritize environments that automatically process customer-supplied MP4 files or where crashes affect production media services. Mitigation focus: Identify MP4Box/GPAC deployments and confirm whether v2.4 is used.; Apply the upstream GPAC fix commit or vendor-provided patched release when available.; Restrict untrusted MP4 processing until patched, especially in automated upload pipelines..

These fields come from the CVE record and ADP containers, not from Glexia's Take. They preserve time-varying source decisions such as CISA SSVC, KEV status, CVSS metrics, and provider references.
We collect every scored CVSS vector available in the official CNA and ADP containers. When more than one version is present, the table keeps the source vectors side by side instead of collapsing them into the highest score.
