Published Updated By the CyberSecBulletin desk

CVE-2026-25503 is a high-severity incorrect type conversion or cast vulnerability in iccDEV from InternationalColorConsortium, with a CVSS 3.1 base score of 7.1 out of 10. It can be exploited remotely over the network by an unauthenticated attacker, but only if a user takes part, for example by opening a link or file. Affected iccDEV versions: < 2.3.1.2. The record does not name a fixed version, so check the vendor advisory. There is no confirmed exploitation so far. EPSS estimates a 0.31% chance of exploitation within 30 days, which is low compared with other CVEs.

High severity with no evidence of exploitation so far.

What to do

  1. Check which version of iccDEV you run against the affected versions below, and install the vendor's latest release.
  2. Read the advisory on github.com for workarounds and exact fixed builds.
  3. Until you can update, restrict network access to the affected service so it is not reachable from untrusted networks.
  4. Because the attack needs a user to take part, warn users about unexpected links and files related to this product until it is patched.

Official description

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, type confusion allowed malformed ICC profiles to trigger undefined behavior when loading invalid icImageEncodingType values causing denial of service. This issue has been patched in version 2.3.1.2.
