VULNERABLE CODE
// Vulnerable: Unbounded string copy
void parse_input(char *user_str) {
char buffer[64];
// Risk: Stack buffer overflow
strcpy(buffer, user_str);
process_data(buffer);
}REMEDIATED CODE
// Patched: Bounded copy with size check
void parse_input(const char *user_str) {
char buffer[64];
if (snprintf(buffer, sizeof(buffer), "%s", user_str) >= sizeof(buffer)) {
log_security_alert("Buffer truncation detected", user_str);
return;
}
process_data(buffer);
}Identified Vulnerabilitystrcpy() copies untrusted input without bounds checking, leading to stack corruption.
Applied RemediationReplaced with bounded snprintf() and strict length verification.
