CVE-2025-48060 is a heap-buffer-overflow vulnerability in jq, a command-line JSON processor. It affects jq versions through 1.7.1 and occurs in the jv_string_vfmt function when exercised through the oss-fuzz jq_fuzz_execute harness. The reported failing allocation is in jv.c at the malloc call associated with this string-formatting path. Some downstream notices characterize the AddressSanitizer finding as a stack-buffer-overflow, but the primary vulnerability description identifies it as a heap-buffer-overflow.
