Technical details

An uncontrolled resource consumption vulnerability (CWE-400) exists in the Adobe Content Authenticity (CAI) SDKs and command-line tools. The flaw allows a local attacker to trigger excessive resource usage, leading to a denial-of-service (DoS) state for the affected application. The vulnerability impacts the Rust SDK (up to v0.84.0), the JS SDK (up to v0.16.5), and the C2PA command-line tool (up to v0.16.5). Exploitation does not require user interaction. Patches have been released in Rust SDK v0.85.2, JS SDK v0.16.6, and C2PA Tool v0.26.65.
