Adobe C2pa

CVE-2026-34657

CAI Content Credentials versions c2pa-web@0.7.1, c2pa-v0.80.1 and earlier are affected by an Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory ('Path Traversal') vulnerability that could result in an arbitrary file system write. An attacker could leverage this vulnerability to write to unauthorized files or directories outside of intended restrictions. Exploitation of this issue requires user interaction in that a victim must extract a maliciously crafted file.

What this means for your business

  • It affects Adobe C2pa. It matters if your company, or a supplier that handles your data, runs it.
  • An attacker can use it only with access to the machine itself, without a login, but only after tricking someone into an action such as opening a file or a link.
  • FIRST's prediction model gives it a 0.2% chance of attack attempts being seen in the next 30 days, ranking above 7% of all known flaws.

What to do

  1. 1Check whether your company or your suppliers run Adobe C2pa, and which version. The affected versions are listed further down this page.
  2. 2If you do, apply the vendor's fix. A patch or vendor advisory has been published.
