CVE-2026-34713: CAI Content Credentials | Uncontrolled Resource Consumption (CWE-400)
CAI Content Credentials versions c2pa-web@0.7.1, c2pa-v0.80.1 and earlier are affected by an Uncontrolled Resource Consumption vulnerability. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability to exhaust system resources, resulting in an application denial-of-service condition. Exploitation of this issue does not require user interaction.
Affected Software
Remediation
Recommended actions to resolve this vulnerability, in priority order.
- Configuration
Configure process- and container-level resource limits for c2pa-web and c2pa-v (for example via ulimit, cgroups, or container resource requests/limits) and enforce request timeouts to prevent uncontrolled CPU or memory consumption.
c2pa-web, c2pa-v process_resource_limits = set ulimit/cgroups/container CPU and memory limits; set request/timeout limits - Compensating control
Deploy rate limiting and request throttling at the edge (API gateway, reverse proxy, or WAF) and apply network-level limits (firewall or load balancer quotas) to reduce the ability of an attacker to trigger resource exhaustion.
- Operational
Implement monitoring and alerting for CPU, memory, file descriptors, and connection counts for c2pa-web and c2pa-v; define thresholds and automated responses (scale-out, circuit breaker, or restart) to recover from or mitigate resource-exhaustion events.
