| Impact | The CVSS v3.1 vector (AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:L) indicates this is a local attack vector requiring user interaction (opening a file) but no privileges, with high confidentiality impact and low availability impact, producing a base score of 6.1. The attack complexity is low, meaning exploitation does not require special conditions beyond crafting a malicious EMF file. While the CVSS score is moderate, the high confidentiality impact (C:H) is significant for information disclosure scenarios. The presence of multiple authoritative sources (Talos Intelligence, ENISA EUVD-2025-208799, and Canva's trust portal) suggests this is a confirmed, well-researched vulnerability rather than unvalidated conjecture. Without explicit KEV (Known Exploited Vulnerability) status or public POC confirmation in the provided data, real-world exploitation risk appears lower than if this were actively weaponized; however, the low attack complexity and straightforward trigger mechanism (user opening a file) mean exploitation is feasible. The vulnerability should be prioritized based on the prevalence of EMF file handling in office/design workflows, but it does not present the same urgency as a network-based RCE or actively exploited memory corruption bug. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An attacker crafts a malicious EMF file with specially formatted records that cause the parser to miscalculate buffer boundaries during record processing. When a user opens the file in Canva Affinity (via File > Open or drag-and-drop), the EMF parser reads beyond the allocated buffer, exposing sensitive data such as previously-processed document content, API tokens, or other in-memory secrets to the attacker. The attack requires user interaction (opening the file) but no special privileges, making it suitable for targeted phishing or social engineering campaigns where the EMF file is delivered via email or cloud sharing platforms. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Mar 17, 2026
An out-of-bounds read vulnerability exists in Canva Affinity's EMF (Enhanced Metafile) file handling that allows attackers to read memory beyond allocated buffer boundaries. The vulnerability affects Affinity version 3.0.1.3808 and potentially other versions in the product line. An attacker can craft a malicious EMF file that, when opened by a user, triggers the out-of-bounds read to disclose sensitive information from process memory, with a CVSS score of 6.1 indicating moderate severity with high confidentiality impact and limited availability impact.
RemediationAI
Apply the security patch provided by Canva for Affinity; consult the official advisory at https://trust.canva.com/?tcuUid=1f728b0d-17f3-4c9c-97e9-6662b769eb62 for specific version numbers and availability. Until patching is feasible, implement defensive measures such as disabling EMF file import/opening in Affinity if the feature is not essential, using sandboxed or virtualized instances for processing untrusted EMF files, and educating users to avoid opening EMF files from untrusted sources. Network-based mitigations are limited due to the local attack vector, but restricting file access to trusted repositories and monitoring for suspicious EMF file delivery can reduce exposure. Organizations relying on EMF interchange should prioritize patching and consider alternative vector formats (e.g., PDF, SVG) for cross-platform document sharing.

Technical ContextAI · show details
The vulnerability resides in Canva Affinity's EMF (Enhanced Metafile) file parser, a legacy Windows graphics format used for document interchange. EMF is a vector graphics format that stores drawing instructions, and improper bounds checking during parsing of malformed EMF records can lead to reading beyond allocated memory buffers. The root cause is classified as CWE-125 (Out-of-bounds Read), a memory safety issue where the application fails to validate array/buffer indices before accessing memory. The affected product is identified via CPE as cpe:2.3:a:canva:affinity, and the Talos Intelligence report (TALOS-2025-2311) indicates the vulnerability was discovered during security research of the EMF parsing subsystem. This type of vulnerability commonly occurs in file format parsers when record length fields are not properly validated before being used as bounds for memory operations.

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.
Information disclosure occurs when an application unintentionally exposes sensitive data that aids attackers in reconnaissance or directly compromises security.
