High CVSS 7.8
CVE-2026-57254
There is an abnormal annotation within the PDF that is referenced by other objects. When the application parses the PDF, it fails to perform proper type checking, ultimately causing the application to crash.
What this means
- Exposure
- Exploitable with local access to the machine and without authentication — but only if a user opens booby-trapped content.
- Impact
- An attacker can read sensitive data, modify or destroy data and take the service offline.
- Weakness
- Data is handled as a type it is not, corrupting memory.
- Likelihood
- Its EPSS score stays low: nothing points to imminent exploitation, which is no reason to leave it unpatched.
