Illustrator is affected by an Improper Input Validation vulnerability that could result in arbitrary code execution in the context of the current user. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability to execute arbitrary code. Exploitation of this issue requires user interaction in that a victim must open a malicious file. Scope is changed.
AnalysisAI
Arbitrary code execution in Adobe Illustrator Desktop 2025 (≤29.8.10) and 2026 (≤30.7) is achievable when a victim opens a specially crafted malicious file, exploiting improper input validation (CWE-20) in the file-parsing subsystem. The CVSS scope-change indicator (S:C) signals that successful exploitation can affect resources beyond the Illustrator process boundary - i.e., impacts propagate to the broader user session or OS context. …
