Summary
cgltf through 1.15 contains a heap out-of-bounds read in cgltf_accessor_unpack_floats() that advances the sparse values cursor by the base bufferView byteStride. An attacker can supply a crafted glTF or GLB file that passes cgltf_validate() to read adjacent heap memory into vertex data or crash the application. Exploitation requires a user to open the crafted file, and the CVSS 4.0 score is 6.9 (MEDIUM). The weakness is classified as CWE-125.
