CVE-2026-47247 PUBLISHED

libheif Vulnerable to Heap Information Disclosure via Grid Image Gap + Uninitialized Pixel Plane Allocation

Assigner: GitHub_M
Reserved: 18.05.2026 Published: 21.07.2026 Updated: 22.07.2026

libheif is a HEIF and AVIF file format decoder and encoder. Prior to version 1.22.0, two bugs in libheif chain to leak process heap memory as visible pixel values in decoded grid images. An attacker who uploads a crafted AVIF/HEIC file to any server-side image processor (WordPress, Sharp/libvips, ImageMagick, etc.) can recover heap data - including library function pointers sufficient to defeat ASLR, or any other secret - from the publicly-downloadable transcoded JPEG/PNG/WebP output. Local attack vectors are also possible. Version 1.22.0 fixes the issue.
