Acrobat Reader is affected by a Use After Free 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
Use-after-free memory corruption in Adobe Acrobat Reader and Acrobat (continuous track ≤26.002.21900; 2024 classic track ≤24.001.30383) enables arbitrary code execution in the context of the victim's user account. The flaw is triggered when a victim opens a specially crafted PDF file, making phishing campaigns and malicious web downloads the primary real-world delivery vectors. …

Attack ChainAIDerived
Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Exploitation requires the victim to open a specially crafted PDF file using an affected version of Adobe Acrobat Reader or Adobe Acrobat (continuous track ≤26.002.21900 or Acrobat 2024 classic track ≤24.001.30383) on their local system. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The CVSS 7.8 vector (AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H) accurately reflects a client-side attack: the local attack vector denotes that the malicious PDF must be opened on the victim's machine, but in practice this is trivially achieved via email attachment or browser download - a delivery mechanism identical to historically widespread Acrobat exploit campaigns. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | Full exploit scenario with step-by-step reproduction available after sign-in. |
| Remediation | Apply the updates specified in Adobe Security Bulletin APSB26-141 (https://helpx.adobe.com/security/products/acrobat/apsb26-141.html); update continuous-track installations beyond 26.002.21900 and Acrobat 2024 classic-track installations beyond 24.001.30383. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
Recommended ActionAI
Within 24 hours, use your asset inventory to identify all systems running the vulnerable versions of Adobe Acrobat Reader and Acrobat (continuous track ≤26.002.21900 or 2024 classic track ≤24.001.30383), and immediately implement network or endpoint rules preventing PDF execution from Downloads, email, and web browser temporary directories. …
