Deeper analysis
CVE-2026-22882 is an out-of-bounds read vulnerability (CWE-125) in the EMF functionality of Canva Affinity. Published on 2026-03-17, it can be exploited by processing a specially crafted EMF file, potentially leading to the disclosure of sensitive information. The vulnerability carries a CVSS v3.1 base score of 6.1 (AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:L).
An attacker with local access can exploit this vulnerability by tricking a user into opening a malicious EMF file through Canva Affinity, requiring no privileges but relying on user interaction. Successful exploitation enables an out-of-bounds read, achieving high-impact confidentiality loss such as sensitive data disclosure, with no integrity impact and only low availability disruption.
