AI Analysis

Impact

CAI Content Credentials has an uncontrolled resource consumption flaw (CWE-400) that can cause applications to become unavailable by exhausting CPU, memory or other critical resources. Exploitation does not depend on user interaction, allowing an attacker to trigger the condition by supplying specific input to the targeted service.

Affected Systems

Adobe’s C2PA Tool, Content Credentials JavaScript SDK, and Content Credentials Rust SDK are affected. No explicit version information is listed, implying that all current releases may be vulnerable until a patch is applied.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 7.5 classifies this as high severity, while the EPSS score of less than 1% indicates a low probability of exploitation at present. It is not listed in CISA’s KEV catalog. The likely attack vector is through crafted requests or inputs sent over the network from a remote source that trigger excessive resource usage; this inference is based on the description that the flaw can be exploited without user interaction.

Remediation

No solution or workaround provided in the CVE record.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Apply the latest Adobe patch or upgrade to a fixed version of the affected C2PA Tool, JS SDK, and Rust SDK.
  • Enable application-level rate limiting or resource quotas to prevent excessive consumption.
  • Disable or restrict the use of the vulnerability‑prone SDKs if they are not essential to the deployment.
