CVE-2026-48295 · Severity: high · CVSS 7.5 · Published 2026-07-14

Adobe Content Credentials tools, which are used to verify the authenticity and origin of digital content, are affected by a security flaw that improperly protects sensitive credentials. An attacker could exploit this to gain unauthorized access to private information without any interaction from a user. This could undermine the trust in digital content provenance or expose sensitive data handled by the SDKs.

Technologies: [Adobe Content Credentials Command-Line Tool](https://junglewise.ai/threats/technologies/content-credentials-command-line-tool), [Adobe Content Credentials JS SDK](https://junglewise.ai/threats/technologies/content-credentials-js-sdk), [Adobe Content Credentials Rust SDK](https://junglewise.ai/threats/technologies/content-credentials-rust-sdk). Vendors: [Adobe](https://junglewise.ai/threats/vendors/adobe).
