Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Mar 12, 2026
Stack buffer overlap in iccDEV's color profile processing library prior to version 2.3.1.4 enables local attackers with user interaction to achieve arbitrary code execution through malicious ICC color management profiles. The vulnerability exists in the CIccTagMultiProcessElement::Apply() function where SrcPixel and DestPixel buffers overlap, and public exploit code is currently available. A patch has been released in version 2.3.1.4 to address this issue.

iccDEV provides a set of libraries and tools that allow for the interaction, manipulation, and application of ICC color management profiles. Prior to 2.3.1.4, SrcPixel and DestPixel stack buffers overlap in CIccTagMultiProcessElement::Apply() int IccTagMPE.cpp. This vulnerability is fixed in 2.3.1.4.
Executive ViewAI
A high-severity vulnerability in iccDEV color management libraries could allow attackers to execute arbitrary code through a stack buffer overflow affecting SrcPixel and DestPixel processing. Organizations using iccDEV in production systems-particularly those handling image processing, document management, or design workflows-face immediate risk of compromise and require urgent patching.
Apply vendor patch.

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.
