Overview

Arbitrary Code Execution (ACE) is a class of vulnerabilities that allow an attacker to run code of their choosing on a target system by exploiting flaws in software components. These flaws can enable immediate code execution with the privileges of the affected process, potentially leading to full compromise and lateral movement; ACE is a top risk because it directly enables attacker control across widely used software and platforms. Recent reports show ACE in NVIDIA CUDA Toolkit, Chromium, GitLab, and WebKitGTK, underscoring the urgency of timely patching and defense-in-depth.
