Lifecycle Timeline
1DescriptionCVE.org
Audition is affected by an out-of-bounds read vulnerability that could lead to disclosure of sensitive memory. An attacker could leverage this vulnerability to disclose sensitive information. Exploitation of this issue requires user interaction in that a victim must open a malicious file.
AnalysisAI
Out-of-bounds read in Adobe Audition exposes sensitive process memory when a victim opens a specially crafted media or project file. Affected branches span Audition 26.x through 26.0 and 25.x through 25.6.4, with Adobe releasing corrective patches at 26.3 and 25.6.6 respectively per APSB26-71. No public exploit has been identified and EPSS sits at 0.20% (10th percentile), indicating minimal current exploitation likelihood; SSVC likewise classifies exploitation as none and the attack as non-automatable.
Technical ContextAI
Adobe Audition is a professional digital audio workstation used widely in broadcast, podcast, and music production workflows. CWE-125 (Out-of-Bounds Read) identifies the root cause as a buffer boundary violation during file parsing - the application reads memory beyond the end of an allocated region, which can expose adjacent heap or stack contents. CPE data (cpe:2.3:a:adobe:audition) confirms both the 25.x and 26.x release trains are affected across all platforms. The 'Buffer Overflow' tag in the intelligence data suggests the flaw resides in a media format parsing component where buffer length is not properly validated before read operations, a classic pattern in multimedia codecs and proprietary project file parsers. The read-only nature of CWE-125 constrains impact to confidentiality - this is distinct from CWE-787 (out-of-bounds write) which would enable code execution.
RemediationAI
The primary remediation is to upgrade Adobe Audition to version 26.3 (for users on the 26.x track) or 25.6.6 (for users on the 25.x track), as released by Adobe and documented in Security Bulletin APSB26-71 (https://helpx.adobe.com/security/products/audition/apsb26-71.html). Updates can be applied through the Creative Cloud desktop application. Until patching is feasible, organizations should instruct users to avoid opening audio project files, session files, or media assets received from untrusted or unexpected sources. Disabling automatic file previews and restricting inbound file sharing from external parties through email gateway controls reduces the social engineering attack surface, though these controls do not protect users who legitimately process third-party audio content. No workarounds eliminate the underlying flaw.
