Audition is affected by an out-of-bounds write vulnerability that could result in arbitrary code execution in the context of the current user. Exploitation of this issue requires user interaction in that a victim must open a malicious file.
AnalysisAI
Arbitrary code execution in Adobe Audition arises from an out-of-bounds write (CWE-787) triggered when a victim opens a maliciously crafted media/project file, allowing an attacker to run code in the context of the current user. The flaw is Adobe-reported (advisory APSB26-71) and carries a CVSS 7.8 (High) rating; there is no public exploit identified at time of analysis and it is not listed in CISA KEV. …

Attack ChainAIDerived
Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Exploitation requires the victim to open a malicious, attacker-crafted file within Adobe Audition - per the description and the CVSS UI:R metric, no exploitation occurs without this user action. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The CVSS 3.1 vector CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H yields 7.8 (High): local attack vector, low complexity, no privileges required, but mandatory user interaction (opening a malicious file), with high impact to confidentiality, integrity, and availability. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | An attacker crafts a malicious Audition-compatible file (e.g., an audio or session file) with malformed structures that trigger the out-of-bounds write and emails or shares it with a target audio professional under a plausible pretext such as a collaboration request. When the victim opens the file in Adobe Audition, the parser corrupts memory and executes attacker-controlled code with the victim's privileges. … |
| Remediation | Apply the update referenced in Adobe Security Bulletin APSB26-71 (https://helpx.adobe.com/security/products/audition/apsb26-71.html); the input does not include an exact fixed version string, so consult that advisory for the precise patched build and update via the Creative Cloud desktop app or Adobe's update mechanism (Patch available per vendor advisory). … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
Recommended ActionAI
Within 24 hours: Alert all Adobe Audition users of the vulnerability; disable Audition or restrict usage to air-gapped systems only and implement file-type blocking for media imports. …
