Lifecycle Timeline
2DescriptionCVE.org
Bridge is affected by an Untrusted Pointer Dereference 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 Bridge allows an attacker to run code in the context of the current user by tricking a victim into opening a maliciously crafted file that triggers an untrusted pointer dereference (CWE-822). The flaw is local and file-based, requiring user interaction; 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 attacker to deliver a specially crafted malicious file and have a victim open it in Adobe Bridge on the local machine - the CVSS vector AV:L/UI:R confirms local access plus mandatory user interaction. … 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), driven by high impact across all three security properties but constrained by a local attack vector and required user interaction - the victim must actively open a malicious file. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | An attacker crafts a malicious asset file that corrupts a pointer parsed by Adobe Bridge and delivers it to a target via email, a shared drive, or a downloaded asset bundle. When the victim opens the file in Bridge, the untrusted pointer dereference is triggered and attacker-controlled code executes with that user's privileges. … |
| Remediation | Apply the update referenced in Adobe security bulletin APSB26-81 (https://helpx.adobe.com/security/products/bridge/apsb26-81.html); the input data does not contain an exact fixed version number, so consult that advisory for the precise patched build and update Adobe Bridge through the Creative Cloud desktop application. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
Recommended ActionAI
Within 24 hours: Issue an immediate alert to all Adobe Bridge users warning against opening untrusted files; implement or reinforce file-source verification procedures and restrict file opening to known-safe origins. …
