CVE-2026-24411
📋 TL;DR
CVE-2026-24411 is an undefined behavior vulnerability in iccDEV's CIccTagXmlSegmentedCurve::ToXml() function that allows attackers to perform denial of service, manipulate data, bypass application logic, or achieve code execution by providing malicious input to ICC profile processing. This affects all users of iccDEV libraries and tools version 2.3.1.1 and below that process untrusted ICC profiles or structured binary data.
💻 Affected Systems
- iccDEV libraries and tools
📦 What is this software?
Iccdev by Color
⚠️ Risk & Real-World Impact
Worst Case
Remote code execution leading to complete system compromise, data manipulation, and persistent access to affected systems.
Likely Case
Denial of service crashes and data corruption in applications processing malicious ICC profiles, potentially disrupting color management workflows.
If Mitigated
Limited impact with proper input validation and sandboxing, potentially only causing application crashes without data loss.
🎯 Exploit Status
Exploitation requires crafting malicious ICC profiles or structured data, but no public exploit code is currently available.
🛠️ Fix & Mitigation
✅ Official Fix
Patch Version: 2.3.1.2
Vendor Advisory: https://github.com/InternationalColorConsortium/iccDEV/security/advisories/GHSA-x53f-7h27-9fc8
Restart Required: Yes
Instructions:
1. Update iccDEV to version 2.3.1.2 or later. 2. Recompile any applications using iccDEV libraries. 3. Restart affected services and applications.
🔧 Temporary Workarounds
Input Validation
allImplement strict validation of ICC profile input before processing
Sandbox Processing
allIsolate ICC profile processing in restricted environments or containers
🧯 If You Can't Patch
- Implement network segmentation to isolate systems processing ICC profiles
- Deploy application allowlisting to prevent execution of unauthorized code
🔍 How to Verify
Check if Vulnerable:
Check if your application uses iccDEV version 2.3.1.1 or earlier and processes external ICC profiles or structured data.Check Version:
Check build configuration or library dependencies for iccDEV version informationVerify Fix Applied:
Verify iccDEV version is 2.3.1.2 or later and test with known malicious ICC profiles to ensure proper handling.📡 Detection & Monitoring
Log Indicators:
- Application crashes during ICC profile processing
- Unexpected memory access errors in color management components
Network Indicators:
- Unusual ICC profile uploads to web applications
- Malformed binary data transfers to color processing services
SIEM Query:
search 'application crash' AND ('icc' OR 'color profile' OR 'CIccTagXmlSegmentedCurve')
