Technical details

An integer underflow (CWE-191) exists in the Adobe Content Authenticity Initiative (CAI) Content Credentials components, including the Rust SDK, JS SDK, and CLI tool. The vulnerability is triggered when the application processes specially crafted input, leading to a wrap-around error that results in an application crash (Denial of Service). The attack vector is classified as local, and while it does not require user interaction or specific privileges, it only impacts availability. Patches have been released in Rust SDK v0.85.2, CLI tool v0.26.65, and JS SDK v0.16.6.
