Technical details

An improper input validation vulnerability (CWE-20) exists in the Adobe Content Authenticity Initiative (CAI) SDKs, specifically the c2pa-web (Node.js) and c2pa-v (Rust) implementations. The flaw allows an attacker to provide specially crafted input that the application fails to validate correctly, resulting in a crash. The attack vector is classified as local, meaning the attacker typically needs the ability to submit data to the affected library on the host system. No user interaction is required for exploitation. The vulnerability has been addressed in c2pa-web version 0.7.1 and c2pa-v version 0.80.1.

Affected products

  • Adobe c2pa-web <= 0.7.0
  • Adobe c2pa-v (Rust SDK) <= 0.78.2
