Application crash via out-of-range timestamp conversion
Published Aug 25, 2026 · Updated Aug 27, 2026
Integer underflow in Adobe C2PA Tool 0.26.70 and earlier and Content Credentials Rust SDK 0.89.0 and earlier allows local users to trigger a crash. During manifest timestamp validation, GeneralizedTime conversion calls expect on an attacker-controlled PKCS#9 signing time outside DER's 1970–9999 range, panicking instead of returning an error. Processing a crafted C2PA asset is sufficient; no privileges or user interaction are required, and the bounded impact is interruption of the consuming process.

Exploitability
Present is not the same as exploitable
Compare your product and version with the public record. A matching version still requires validation against your environment.
Is a vulnerable build present?
Compare these published version ranges with your installed build and any vendor patches.
