Exploitation Conditions

User must open or process a malformed ICC profile file in iccDEV versions prior to 2.3.1.3. Local access required; exploitation occurs when the application attempts to read through index during ICC profile parsing without proper array bounds checking.

Impact

CVSS 7.8 (HIGH). Attack vector: Local. Complexity: Low. Privileges required: None. User interaction: Required. Public exploit/POC available.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

An attacker could exploit this vulnerability to memory disclosure or segmentation fault from accessing memory beyond the array b.

AnalysisAIv1 – Mar 12, 2026

Out-of-bounds memory read in iccDEV versions prior to 2.3.1.3 allows local attackers to disclose sensitive memory contents or trigger application crashes by crafting malformed ICC color profiles that bypass array bounds validation. The vulnerability exists in IccCmm.cpp during profile index processing and has public exploit code available. Update to version 2.3.1.3 or later to remediate.

DescriptionGitHub Advisory

iccDEV provides a set of libraries and tools that allow for the interaction, manipulation, and application of ICC color management profiles. Prior to version 2.3.1.3, there is a vulnerability IccCmm.cpp:5793 when reading through index during ICC profile processing. The malformed ICC profile triggers improper array bounds validation in the color management module, resulting in an out-of-bounds read that can lead to memory disclosure or segmentation fault from accessing memory beyond the array boundary. This issue has been patched in version 2.3.1.3.

Executive ViewAI

Why It Matters

A high-severity vulnerability in iccDEV color management libraries (CVE-2026-25585, CVSS 7.8) allows attackers to exploit index processing flaws in ICC profile handling. Any organization using iccDEV in document processing, printing, imaging, or design workflows faces potential code execution or denial of service risks, particularly if processing untrusted ICC profiles from external sources.

Business Impact: High
Compensating Controls

Apply vendor patch. If immediate patching is not feasible: restrict ICC profile processing to trusted internal sources only, disable automatic ICC profile loading where possible, implement input validation to reject malformed ICC profiles, and segment systems processing untrusted ICC profiles from critical infrastructure.

Attack Technique

A buffer overflow occurs when a program writes more data to a memory buffer than it was allocated to hold, causing the excess data to spill into adjacent memory regions.
