AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H
File-parsing bug triggered by opening a malicious file locally: AV:L and UI:R, no prior privileges (PR:N), and code execution yields full C/I/A impact within the user's context (S:U).

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 (memory corruption) that runs in the context of the current user when a victim opens a maliciously crafted media/project file. All affected versions covered by Adobe advisory APSB26-71 are impacted, and while no public exploit has been identified at time of analysis, the local attack vector with required user interaction makes it a classic file-format weaponization risk. …

Attack ChainAIDerived
Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Exploitation requires the victim to actively open an attacker-supplied malicious file in Adobe Audition (UI:R in the CVSS vector) - there is no remote, network-triggerable, or zero-click path. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H = 7.8 High) indicates the attack is local and requires no privileges but does require user interaction (opening a file), with high impact across confidentiality, integrity, and availability but no scope change. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | An attacker crafts a malicious Audition project or audio file that triggers the out-of-bounds write during parsing and distributes it via email, a shared media library, or a compromised collaboration platform. When a targeted editor opens the file in a vulnerable version of Audition, the memory corruption is triggered and attacker-controlled code executes with that user's privileges. … |
| Remediation | Apply the fixed version identified in Adobe Security Bulletin APSB26-71 (https://helpx.adobe.com/security/products/audition/apsb26-71.html); the exact patched build number is published in that advisory and should be deployed via Adobe Creative Cloud desktop app updates - the specific fix version is not included in the provided input data and must be read from the advisory rather than assumed. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
Recommended ActionAI
Within 24 hours, notify all Adobe Audition users of the vulnerability and mandate that media files be accepted only from verified internal sources; block Audition file attachments at email gateways. …
