Description confirms a file-system read impact (C:H not I:H); scope change reflects cross-boundary traversal; local vector and no-privilege requirement retained from available data.

2DescriptionCVE.org
CAI Content Credentials is affected by an Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory ('Path Traversal') vulnerability that could result in a Arbitrary file system read. An attacker could leverage this vulnerability to gain unauthorized read access to files or directories outside the intended restrictions. Exploitation of this issue does not require user interaction. Scope is changed.
AnalysisAI
Path traversal in Adobe's Content Credentials toolkit - spanning the c2patool CLI, the c2pa Rust SDK, and the @contentauth/c2pa-web JavaScript/WASM SDK - enables arbitrary file-system reads outside intended directory boundaries on the local host. Affected versions include c2patool ≤ v0.27.5, c2pa-rs ≤ v0.90.5, and @contentauth/c2pa-web ≤ 0.12.0, with patched releases available for all three. …

Attack ChainAIDerived
Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | The attacker must deliver a crafted C2PA manifest to a system running c2patool (≤ v0.27.5), c2pa-rs (≤ v0.90.5), or @contentauth/c2pa-web (≤ 0.12.0) that will actively parse it. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The CVSS base score of 7.1 (AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:C/C:N/I:H/A:N) contains an internal inconsistency that materially affects triage: the CVE description documents an arbitrary file-system READ operation - a confidentiality impact - yet the official vector records C:N and I:H, which would imply a write or integrity-affecting outcome. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | Full exploit scenario with step-by-step reproduction available after sign-in. |
| Remediation | Upgrade all affected components to their respective patched releases: c2patool-v0.27.6, c2pa-v0.90.6, and @contentauth/c2pa-web@0.12.1, as documented in Adobe APSB26-111 at https://helpx.adobe.com/security/products/content-authenticity-sdk/apsb26-111.html. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
Recommended ActionAI
Within 24 hours, identify and inventory all systems running vulnerable versions of Adobe's Content Credentials components (c2patool ≤v0.27.5, c2pa-rs ≤v0.90.5, @contentauth/c2pa-web ≤v0.12.0) and assess which systems process sensitive content or are exposed to untrusted input. …
