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 a local attacker to provide malformed data that the library fails to process safely, leading to an application crash. The attack vector is classified as local, but it does not require specific user interaction or elevated privileges to trigger the denial-of-service condition. Patches are available in c2pa-web version 0.7.1 and c2pa-v (Rust) version 0.80.1.

Affected products

Adobe c2pa-web 0.7.0 and earlier
Adobe c2pa-v (Rust SDK) 0.78.2 and earlier
