AnalysisAIv1 – Mar 12, 2026

iccDEV versions 2.3.1.1 and below contain a null pointer dereference in the CIccXmlArrayType() function that allows remote attackers to trigger denial of service, data manipulation, or potentially achieve code execution through crafted ICC profile data. The vulnerability stems from unsafe handling of user-controlled input in binary structured data and has public exploit code available. Upgrade to version 2.3.1.2 or later to remediate.

DescriptionGitHub Advisory

iccDEV provides libraries and tools for interacting with, manipulating, and applying ICC color management profiles. In versions 2.3.1.1 and below, CIccXmlArrayType() contains a Null Pointer Dereference and Undefined Behavior vulnerability. This occurs when user-controllable input is unsafely incorporated into ICC profile data or other structured binary blobs. Successful exploitation may allow an attacker to perform DoS, manipulate data, bypass application logic and Code Execution. This issue has been fixed in version 2.3.1.2.

Executive ViewAI

Why It Matters

A vulnerability in iccDEV color management libraries (versions 2.3.1.1 and below) could allow attackers to crash applications or potentially execute code through specially crafted ICC profiles. Organizations using iccDEV in image processing, design, or document handling workflows face service disruption and potential data security risks until patched.

Business Impact: High
Compensating Controls

Apply vendor patch. If immediate patching is not feasible, implement input validation to restrict processing of ICC profiles from untrusted sources, disable iccDEV features if unused, and apply network segmentation to limit exposure of affected systems.
