Lightroom Classic 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
Out-of-bounds write in Adobe Lightroom Classic versions up to 15.4.1 enables arbitrary code execution in the security context of the current user through a maliciously crafted file. The flaw, classified under CWE-787 (Memory Corruption / Buffer Overflow), resides in file-parsing logic and requires no elevated privileges on the attacker's side - only that a victim opens the weaponized file. …

Attack ChainAIDerived
Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Exploitation requires the victim to actively open a maliciously crafted file within Adobe Lightroom Classic - this is explicitly stated in the CVE description and reflected by CVSS UI:R. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The CVSS 3.1 score of 7.8 (High) reflects a local attack vector (AV:L), low complexity (AC:L), no attacker privileges required (PR:N), required user interaction (UI:R), and full CIA impact (C:H/I:H/A:H). … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | An attacker crafts a malicious camera RAW or proprietary image file embedding a payload that triggers the out-of-bounds write in Lightroom Classic's file parser. The file is delivered to a target photographer or creative professional via phishing email, a fake asset download, or a compromised shared cloud folder. … |
| Remediation | Update Adobe Lightroom Classic to version 15.5, the vendor-confirmed patched release per Adobe advisory APSB26-94 (https://helpx.adobe.com/security/products/lightroom/apsb26-94.html). … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
Recommended ActionAI
Within 24 hours, inventory all systems running Adobe Lightroom Classic versions up to 15.4.1 and issue a security alert instructing users not to open files from untrusted sources pending remediation. …
