CVE-2026-90684: GPAC MP4Box reachable assertion in gf_node_get_field_count

CVE-2026-90684 · Severity: low · CVSS 2.8 · Published 2026-09-14

GPAC is a multimedia streaming and transcoding toolkit that processes video and media files. A flaw in the MP4Box component can be triggered by crafting a malicious input file, causing the application to terminate unexpectedly (assertion failure) when processing the file locally. While not a direct data breach, this denial-of-service condition disrupts media processing workflows.

Technologies: Gpac. Vendors: Gpac.

Technical details

This vulnerability is a reachable assertion in the gf_node_get_field_count function within scenegraph/base_scenegraph.c of the MP4Box component. The issue is triggered by local manipulation of input data—an attacker can craft a specially-formed media file that causes the assertion to fail. The vulnerability requires local file access and does not require authentication. A successful exploit results in application termination (denial of service). The issue has been patched in version abi-16.23 (commit 49dee5cad329cfed310c1682703df7daa47df31a).
