CVE-2026-47964

DNG SDK | Heap-based Buffer Overflow (CWE-122)

Published Jun 16, 2026 CVSS 3.1 · 7.8 High EPSS < 1% KEV · Not listed

Description

DNG SDK versions 1.7.1 2536 and earlier are affected by a Heap-based Buffer Overflow vulnerability that could result in arbitrary code execution in the context of the current user. Exploitation of this issue requires user interaction in that a victim must open a malicious file.

Analysis

Technical impact

A heap‑based buffer overflow has been identified in Adobe DNG SDK versions 1.7.1 2536 and earlier. When a crafted DNG file is opened, the overflow can be triggered, allowing an attacker to execute arbitrary code in the context of the current user. The flaw is a classic out‑of‑bounds write (CWE‑122).

Affected Systems

Adobe DNG SDK, version 1.7.1 2536 and all earlier releases. Any environment that incorporates these SDK builds is susceptible unless a newer, patched SDK version is deployed.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 7.8 indicates high severity, but the EPSS score of < 1 % suggests exploitation is currently unlikely to be widespread. Attack requires user interaction—specifically the victim must open a malicious DNG file—so the threat is limited to social‑engineering or phishing scenarios. The vulnerability is not listed in CISA's KEV catalog.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

Install the latest Adobe DNG SDK release that includes the fix for this vulnerability.
If an upgrade is not immediately possible, disable or block the handling of DNG files in your environment to prevent the vulnerable code from executing.
Employ file‑scanning or sandboxing techniques to inspect any DNG file before it reaches the SDK, reducing the risk of exploitation.
