Official Description
PoDoFo is a C++17 PDF manipulation library. From 1.0.0 to before 1.0.4, a double-free vulnerability exists in compute_hash_to_sign() in src/podofo/private/OpenSSLInternal_Ripped.cpp. If EVP_DigestFinal fails after buf has already been freed, the Error label frees buf a second time, causing heap corruption. This vulnerability is fixed in 1.0.4.
Technical Analysis
CVE-2026-44348 requires local access, meaning attackers must already have a foothold on the target system.
Exploitation does not require any privileges, though user interaction (Required) is needed, which slightly reduces the risk of mass automated attacks.
