InDesign Desktop versions 20.5.2, 21.2 and earlier are affected by an out-of-bounds read vulnerability when parsing a crafted file, which could result in a read past the end of an allocated memory structure. An attacker could leverage this vulnerability to execute code in the context of the current user. Exploitation of this issue requires user interaction in that a victim must open a malicious file.
AnalysisAI
Out-of-bounds read in Adobe InDesign Desktop versions 20.5.2, 21.2, and earlier enables arbitrary code execution when users open malicious files. Attack requires local access and user interaction (CVSS AV:L/UI:R) but no authentication (PR:N), allowing attackers with file delivery capability to execute code as the victim user. …
