DescriptionCVE.org

CAI Content Credentials is affected by an Improper Input Validation vulnerability that could lead to arbitrary file system read. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability to access sensitive files and directories outside the intended access scope. Exploitation of this issue requires user interaction in that a victim must open a malicious file.

AnalysisAI

Arbitrary file system read in Adobe's Content Credentials (C2PA Tool and Content Credentials Rust SDK) exposes sensitive files and directories outside the intended access scope through improper input validation during file parsing. The attack requires a victim to open a malicious file crafted by the attacker, making this a local, user-interaction-dependent vulnerability with high confidentiality impact but no integrity or availability consequence. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Exploitation requires the victim to actively open or process a malicious file containing a crafted C2PA manifest - the attack cannot proceed without this user interaction. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The CVSS 3.1 vector CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N scores 5.5 Medium, reflecting a local attack requiring user interaction with no privilege prerequisite and high confidentiality impact. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario An attacker crafts a malicious media file (image, video, or audio) embedding a C2PA manifest that contains path traversal references pointing to sensitive files such as SSH keys, application credentials, or configuration files on the victim's system. The attacker delivers this file via email, file-sharing platform, or a compromised content distribution channel targeting users of Content Credentials tooling. …
Remediation The primary remediation is to apply the patch described in Adobe's security advisory 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.
