Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.

NVD · unedited
CAI Content Credentials versions [email protected], 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.

Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.

dbcve analysis · moderate confidence

CAI Content Credentials libraries ([email protected] and c2pa-v0.78.2 and earlier) contain an improper input validation vulnerability that allows an attacker to crash the application and cause a denial-of-service condition without any user interaction.

MitigationUpgrade to patched versions of c2pa-web and c2pa libraries that address the input validation vulnerability. Until patches are available, implement rate limiting and request validation at the application layer to mitigate potential DoS attempts.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.

dbcve checks

Work through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.

  1. Check Adobe C2pa library version
    Inspect your project's dependency manifest (package.json, Cargo.toml, or similar) for the c2pa library. If using npm, run 'npm list c2pa' or check the package.json dependencies section.
    Affected if Installed version is less than 0.80.1
  2. Check Adobe C2pa Web library version
    Inspect your project's dependency manifest for the c2pa-web library. If using npm, run 'npm list c2pa-web' or check the package.json dependencies section.
    Affected if Installed version is less than 0.7.1
  3. Verify application uses CAI Content Credentials
    Search your codebase for imports or usage of c2pa or c2pa-web libraries (e.g., 'import { ... } from "c2pa"' or 'import { ... } from "c2pa-web"').
    Affected if The application imports or uses either c2pa or c2pa-web libraries

You are affected if your application uses Adobe C2pa library versions below 0.80.1 or c2pa-web library versions below 0.7.1, and the input validation flaw can be triggered by processing crafted content credentials.

Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.

dbcve · scoped
Upgrade available Upgrade to 0.7.1 / 0.80.1 or later
Fixed in 0.7.10.80.1
Interim mitigation

Upgrade to patched versions of c2pa-web and c2pa libraries that address the input validation vulnerability. Until patches are available, implement rate limiting and request validation at the application layer to mitigate potential DoS attempts.

Recommended fix High confidence

C2pa >= 0.80.1; C2pa Web >= 0.7.1

  1. Identify which C2pa package is in use: c2pa (Rust SDK) or c2pa-web (JavaScript/Web SDK)
  2. If using c2pa (Rust SDK), upgrade to version 0.80.1 or higher using the appropriate package manager (e.g., cargo update)
  3. If using c2pa-web (JavaScript SDK), upgrade to version 0.7.1 or higher (e.g., npm update c2pa-web or yarn upgrade c2pa-web)
  4. Verify the installed version matches or exceeds the fixed release versions
  5. Test the application to confirm the denial-of-service vulnerability is resolved
Caveat No breaking changes documented; standard version upgrade with regression testing recommended
