Summary

Fix critical severity security issue in content/learning-paths/servers-and-cloud-computing/exploiting-stack-buffer-overflow-aarch64/stack-buffer-overflow.c.

Vulnerability

Field Value
ID V-003
Severity CRITICAL
Scanner multi_agent_ai
Rule V-003
File content/learning-paths/servers-and-cloud-computing/exploiting-stack-buffer-overflow-aarch64/stack-buffer-overflow.c:6
Assessment Likely exploitable
CWE CWE-120

Description: Unsafe strcpy() functions copy user-controlled data to fixed-size buffers without bounds checking, allowing stack buffer overflow.

Evidence

Exploitation scenario: Attacker provides src string longer than fixed-size buffer to overwrite adjacent stack memory and control instruction pointer.

Scanner confirmation: multi_agent_ai rule V-003 flagged this pattern.

Production code: This file is in the production codebase, not test-only code.
