Detailsinfo

A vulnerability classified as problematic has been found in theotherphil imagecli up to 0.2.1. This affects the function Carve::apply of the file src/image_ops.rs of the component Carve Pipeline. The manipulation of the argument ratio with an unknown input leads to a input validation vulnerability. CWE is classifying the issue as CWE-20. The product receives input or data, but it does not validate or incorrectly validates that the input has the properties that are required to process the data safely and correctly. This is going to have an impact on availability. The summary by CVE is:

imagecli's `carve <ratio>` pipeline operation (Carve::apply() in src/image_ops.rs) only asserts `ratio <= 1.0`, never validating that the ratio is positive. A negative ratio (e.g. -5) causes the computed target width to saturate to 0 via Rust's defined float-to-uint cast, which is then passed to imageproc::seam_carving::shrink_width — a function that panics when given a width below 2, crashing the process. This shares the same missing-input-validation root cause as the sibling `scale` finding in the same file but is an independently fixable, distinct code path.

It is possible to read the advisory at github.com. This vulnerability is uniquely identified as CVE-2026-70378 since 08/04/2026. The exploitability is told to be easy. It is possible to initiate the attack remotely. No form of authentication is needed for exploitation. It demands that the victim is doing some kind of user interaction. Technical details of the vulnerability are known, but there is no available exploit. The pricing for an exploit might be around USD $0-$5k at the moment (estimation calculated on 08/05/2026).

There is no information about possible countermeasures known. It may be suggested to replace the affected object with an alternative product.
