DescriptionCVE.org

CAI Content Credentials is affected by an Uncontrolled Resource Consumption vulnerability that could lead to application denial-of-service. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability to exhaust system resources, resulting in an application denial-of-service condition. Exploitation of this issue does not require user interaction.

AnalysisAI

Uncontrolled resource consumption in Adobe's Content Credentials ecosystem - specifically the c2pa_tool and Content Credentials Rust SDK - allows unauthenticated remote attackers to exhaust system resources and trigger application denial-of-service with no user interaction required. The CVSS vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H) confirms a straightforward network-exploitable path requiring neither authentication nor privilege. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation No authentication or user interaction is required (CVSS PR:N/UI:N). … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The CVSS 7.5 score accurately reflects a medium-high risk for availability: the attack is network-reachable, requires no authentication, no special configuration, and no user interaction, making it straightforward to trigger. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario An attacker submits a specially crafted C2PA manifest or Content Credentials payload - possibly a deeply nested, recursive, or artificially inflated structure - to an internet-accessible service running the vulnerable Rust SDK or c2pa_tool. The parser processes the malicious input without enforcing resource bounds, consuming available memory or CPU until the application becomes unresponsive and legitimate requests fail. …
Remediation Apply the vendor-supplied patch documented in Adobe Security Bulletin APSB26-110, available at https://helpx.adobe.com/security/products/content-authenticity-sdk/apsb26-110.html. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.

Recommended ActionAI

Within 24 hours, identify all systems and applications using Adobe Content Credentials tools or c2pa_tool components and implement network-level rate limiting to constrain resource consumption from untrusted sources. …
