Answer in brief
CVE-2026-42216 records a Critical severity (CVSS 9.1) vulnerability in OpenEXR: Out-of-bounds read in `IDManifest::init()` during prefix expansion. The current sources do not mark it as known exploited. The current feed maps AcademySoftwareFoundation/openexr (generic). Check affected ranges and fixed versions before updating.

OpenEXR provides the specification and reference implementation of the EXR file format, an image storage format for the motion picture industry. From versions 3.0.0 to before 3.2.9, 3.3.0 to before 3.3.11, and 3.4.0 to before 3.4.11, IDManifest::init() reconstructs strings from a prefix-compressed representation. If the previous string is longer than 255 bytes, the next string is expected to begin with a 2-byte prefix length. The code reads stringList[i][0] and stringList[i][1] without checking that the current string has at least two bytes. This issue has been patched in versions 3.2.9, 3.3.11, and 3.4.11.
