Technical details

An Untrusted Search Path vulnerability (CWE-426) exists in the Adobe Content Credentials SDKs and CLI tools. The flaw occurs when the application attempts to load a resource or library without a fully qualified path, potentially allowing a local attacker to place a malicious file in a directory searched by the application. Exploitation requires user interaction, such as visiting a maliciously crafted URL or interacting with a compromised web page. Successful exploitation can lead to arbitrary code execution in the context of the current user. Fixed versions include Rust SDK c2pa-v0.85.2, CLI tool c2patool-v0.26.65, and JS SDK @contentauth/c2pa-v0.16.6.
