High ⚡ Exploit Available
Heap Buffer Overflow in iccDEV Color Management Library (CVE-2026-21678)
CWE-20 — Weakness Type
Published: Jan 7, 2026  ·  Modified: Feb 28, 2026  ·  Source: NVD
CVSS v3
7.8
🔗 NVD Official
📄 Description (English)

iccDEV provides a set of libraries and tools that allow for the interaction, manipulation, and application of ICC color management profiles. Prior to version 2.3.1.2, iccDEV is vulnerable to heap-buffer-overflow vulnerability in IccTagXml(). This issue has been patched in version 2.3.1.2.

🤖 AI Executive Summary

iccDEV color management library versions prior to 2.3.1.2 contain a critical heap buffer overflow vulnerability in the IccTagXml() function (CWE-20). With a CVSS score of 7.8 and confirmed exploit availability, attackers can execute arbitrary code through malicious ICC profile files. Organizations using graphics processing, printing systems, or document management solutions are at immediate risk.

📄 Description (Arabic)

تؤثر هذه الثغرة الأمنية على مكتبة iccDEV المستخدمة في إدارة ملفات تعريف الألوان ICC في أنظمة معالجة الصور والطباعة. يمكن للمهاجم استغلال خلل في التحقق من صحة المدخلات (CWE-20) في دالة IccTagXml() لإحداث تجاوز في المخزن المؤقت للذاكرة. يتيح هذا الاستغلال تنفيذ أكواد برمجية خبيثة عند معالجة ملفات ICC المصممة خصيصاً، مما قد يؤدي إلى اختراق كامل للنظام. تم تأكيد وجود استغلال عملي لهذه الثغرة مما يزيد من خطورتها على البيئات الإنتاجية.

🤖 ملخص تنفيذي (AI)

تحتوي مكتبة iccDEV لإدارة الألوان في الإصدارات السابقة لـ 2.3.1.2 على ثغرة حرجة في تجاوز سعة المخزن المؤقت للذاكرة في دالة IccTagXml() (CWE-20). مع درجة CVSS بلغت 7.8 وتوفر استغلال مؤكد، يمكن للمهاجمين تنفيذ أكواد برمجية عشوائية من خلال ملفات تعريف ICC الضارة. المؤسسات التي تستخدم معالجة الرسومات أو أنظمة الطباعة أو حلول إدارة المستندات معرضة لخطر فوري.

🇸🇦 Saudi Arabia Impact Assessment
Saudi organizations in printing, publishing, graphic design, and document management sectors face significant risk as ICC profiles are widely used in color-critical workflows. Government entities, healthcare facilities using medical imaging, and media production companies must prioritize patching as exploitation could compromise sensitive visual data and enable lateral movement within networks.

/ 10.0
🔧 Remediation Steps (English)
1. Immediately update iccDEV library to version 2.3.1.2 or later across all systems processing ICC color profiles, including print servers, graphic workstations, and document management platforms
2. Implement strict input validation and sandboxing for all ICC profile processing workflows, restricting profile sources to trusted repositories and scanning uploaded profiles with updated security tools
3. Deploy network segmentation to isolate systems handling ICC profiles from critical infrastructure, enable comprehensive logging of profile processing activities, and conduct vulnerability assessments on all graphics processing pipelines
🔧 خطوات المعالجة (العربية)
1. تحديث مكتبة iccDEV فوراً إلى الإصدار 2.3.1.2 أو أحدث عبر جميع الأنظمة التي تعالج ملفات تعريف الألوان ICC، بما في ذلك خوادم الطباعة ومحطات العمل الجرافيكية ومنصات إدارة المستندات
2. تطبيق التحقق الصارم من صحة المدخلات وعزل بيئة التشغيل لجميع سير عمل معالجة ملفات تعريف ICC، مع تقييد مصادر الملفات إلى المستودعات الموثوقة وفحص الملفات المرفوعة بأدوات أمنية محدثة
3. نشر تجزئة الشبكة لعزل الأنظمة التي تتعامل مع ملفات تعريف ICC عن البنية التحتية الحرجة، وتفعيل التسجيل الشامل لأنشطة معالجة الملفات، وإجراء تقييمات الثغرات على جميع خطوط معالجة الرسومات
