Lifecycle Timeline
3Description
An out‑of‑bounds write vulnerability exists in the EMF functionality of Canva Affinity. By using a specially crafted EMF file, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to perform an out‑of‑bounds write, potentially leading to code execution.
Analysis
An out-of-bounds write vulnerability in Canva Affinity's EMF file processing allows attackers to achieve code execution by crafting malicious EMF (Enhanced Metafile) image files. The vulnerability affects Affinity version 3.0.1.3808 and requires user interaction to open the malicious file, but then grants full system compromise with high impact to confidentiality, integrity, and availability. No evidence of active exploitation or public proof-of-concept exists, and the local attack vector with user interaction requirement reduces immediate risk.
Technical Context
The vulnerability resides in Canva Affinity's EMF (Enhanced Metafile) file format parser, specifically affecting the product identified by CPE cpe:2.3:a:canva:affinity:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*. EMF is a Windows-based vector graphics format commonly used for printing and document embedding. The root cause is CWE-787 (Out-of-bounds Write), a memory corruption class where the application writes data beyond allocated buffer boundaries during EMF file parsing. This type of vulnerability typically occurs when file format parsers fail to properly validate input data sizes or field lengths, allowing attackers to overwrite adjacent memory regions with controlled data.
Affected Products
Canva Affinity version 3.0.1.3808 is confirmed vulnerable according to ENISA EUVD reporting, with the CPE identifier cpe:2.3:a:canva:affinity:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:* indicating potentially broader version impact. The vulnerability was discovered and reported by Talos Intelligence as TALOS-2025-2310. Canva has published security information at https://trust.canva.com/?tcuUid=1f728b0d-17f3-4c9c-97e9-6662b769eb62, though specific version ranges beyond 3.0.1.3808 are not clearly defined in the available intelligence.
Remediation
Update Canva Affinity to the latest version beyond 3.0.1.3808 as recommended in the vendor advisory at https://trust.canva.com/?tcuUid=1f728b0d-17f3-4c9c-97e9-6662b769eb62. Until patching is complete, implement user awareness training to avoid opening EMF files from untrusted sources, consider blocking EMF file types at email gateways and web proxies, and enable application sandboxing or virtualization for high-risk users who must process external graphics files.
