CVE-2025-12474 is a medium-severity vulnerability affecting libjxl_project libjxl. It was published on February 11, 2026 and has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 4.4 (MEDIUM).
This vulnerability has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 4.4, rated MEDIUM. It requires local or adjacent network access to exploit. No authentication or special privileges are required for exploitation.
Technical Description
A specially-crafted file can cause libjxl's decoder to read pixel data from uninitialized (but allocated) memory.
This can be done by causing the decoder to reference an outside-image-bound area in a subsequent patches. An incorrect optimization causes the decoder to omit populating those areas.
Remediation
Check the references section for vendor advisories and patches from libjxl_project. Update libjxl to the latest patched version. If immediate patching is not possible, review the CVSS vector to understand the attack surface and apply compensating controls such as network segmentation or access restrictions.
