CVE-2026-34679: CAI Content Credentials | Improper Input Validation (CWE-20)
CAI Content Credentials versions c2pa-web@0.7.0, c2pa-v0.78.2 and earlier are affected by an Improper Input Validation vulnerability that could result in an application denial-of-service. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability to crash the application, leading to a denial-of-service condition. Exploitation of this issue does not require user interaction.
Security readout for executives and security teams
Plain-English summary
A flaw in Adobe’s Content Credentials JavaScript and Rust SDKs can crash applications that process invalid input, disrupting service. It does not expose or alter data according to the supplied CVSS assessment. No user interaction is required, but the attack vector is rated local rather than network-based.
Executive priority
Treat this as a prompt maintenance priority for systems where application downtime affects customers or critical workflows. Expedite remediation for services processing untrusted content; otherwise include it in the next controlled patch cycle. There is no supplied evidence of data theft, data modification, or active exploitation.
Technical view
CVE-2026-34679 is an improper input validation issue (CWE-20) affecting c2pa-web 0.7.0 and c2pa Rust 0.78.2 and earlier. Crafted invalid input can terminate the consuming application, causing denial of service. CVSS 3.1 is 6.2, with high availability impact and no stated confidentiality or integrity impact.
Likely exposure
Exposure is limited to applications using the affected Content Credentials SDK versions. Risk is greater where these applications process untrusted or externally supplied content. The supplied evidence does not establish that every application using these libraries exposes a reachable attack path.
Exploitation context
Exploitation requires no privileges or user interaction, but the CVSS vector classifies access as local. The source bundle does not establish active exploitation or public exploit availability, and the CVE is not identified as a CISA KEV entry.
Researcher notes
The stated impact is application denial of service from improper input validation. CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H. The bundle names affected versions through c2pa-web 0.7.0 and c2pa 0.78.2, while its version-range data points to 0.7.1 and 0.80.1 as remediation boundaries.
Mitigation direction
Upgrade c2pa-web to 0.7.1 or a later vendor-supported release.
Upgrade the Rust c2pa SDK to 0.80.1 or a later vendor-supported release.
Apply Adobe’s advisory guidance and redeploy affected applications.
Restrict untrusted Content Credentials input until affected components are updated.
Validation and detection
Inventory application manifests and lockfiles for c2pa-web and Rust c2pa dependencies.
Confirm deployed dependency versions, including transitive and bundled copies.
Verify JavaScript deployments use c2pa-web 0.7.1 or later.
Verify Rust deployments use c2pa 0.80.1 or later.
Run availability-focused regression tests with invalid input in an isolated environment.
