Description

The Affinity by Canva application before 3.3.0 (September 2026 release) did not perform adequate bounds checking when parsing Affinity document files leading to a stack-based buffer overflow. A threat actor could craft a Affinity document that when opened by a user in Affinity could result in arbitrary code execution.
