Summary
cgltf through 1.15 contains a heap out-of-bounds write in cgltf_accessor_unpack_floats() caused by unchecked sparse accessor indices. An attacker who supplies a crafted glTF or GLB file with large sparse indices can write outside the output buffer, corrupting heap memory and crashing applications. Code execution may be possible when cgltf_validate() is not called. The CWE is CWE-787.
