ETK-2026-1284Zero's internal tracking ID, independent of the CVE number.
waiting for further signalsZero needs more public information before it can validate it.description
pdfcpu versions before 0.16.2 can leave strings from compressed objects readable in PDFs that appear encrypted. An attacker able to obtain such an output file may read exposed content without the PDF password when the input contains object streams.
mitigation
Upgrade pdfcpu to version 0.16.2 or later. Review PDFs encrypted with affected versions for sensitive plaintext and regenerate them from trusted source files after upgrading.
fixed in 0.16.2
outcome
No artifact: an exploit or check was attempted but could not be produced at this moment.
