1 technique across 1 tactic: Collection The technique list with ATT&CK links and the kill-chain view is part of the Basic plan and up. |
| Exploitation Conditions | Requires the victim to actively open or view attacker-controlled PDF/web content in Microsoft Edge's Acrobat/PDF rendering component - the description explicitly states the victim must visit a maliciously crafted URL or interact with a compromised web page, so mandatory user interaction (UI:R) is the primary limiting factor. No authentication or elevated privileges are needed (PR:N), and default Edge configurations that render PDFs are affected, but exploitation is bounded to confidentiality-only impact (memory disclosure) and depends on the victim's engagement with the malicious content rather than any non-default server/feature setting. |
| Impact | Moderate, non-urgent risk. The CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N, base 4.3) describes a network-reachable, low-complexity, unauthenticated out-of-bounds read whose only impact is limited confidentiality (C:L) via disclosure of process memory - no integrity or availability impact, and user interaction (UI:R) is mandatory. No EPSS score, KEV listing, or POC indicator was supplied, so exploitation likelihood cannot be quantified from the data: there is no public exploit identified at time of analysis and no evidence of active exploitation. The limited CWE-125 information-disclosure impact means this is realistically a lower-tier issue (potential ASLR/pointer leak or disclosure of adjacent sensitive memory) rather than a drive-by RCE, despite the memory-safety nature. Note a sourcing nuance: the product is attributed to Adobe (CPE cpe:2.3:a:adobe:acrobat_for_edge) yet the sole reference is a Microsoft MSRC advisory, consistent with Adobe's PDF engine embedded in Microsoft Edge - confirm the authoritative advisory and fixed build with both vendors. Priority: patch in normal cadence; it is not a stated priority emergency on current signals. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An attacker hosts a maliciously crafted PDF or web page and lures a victim into opening the malicious URL in Microsoft Edge's built-in Acrobat/PDF viewer. When Edge renders the crafted content, the out-of-bounds read is triggered and leaks adjacent process memory (e.g., pointers or sensitive data) back to attacker-influenced output. No public exploit is identified at time of analysis, and exploitation requires the victim's interaction (UI:R). |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Oct 20, 2026
Out-of-bounds read in Adobe Acrobat for Edge can disclose sensitive memory contents when a user opens a maliciously crafted PDF or visits attacker-controlled web content in Microsoft Edge. Default Edge installations that use the Acrobat/PDF rendering component are affected; exploitation requires user interaction (UI:R) and no privileges (PR:N), but impact is limited to confidentiality (C:L) with a CVSS base score of 4.3. No public exploit identified at time of analysis.
RemediationAI
Apply the Microsoft Edge/Acrobat for Edge security update referenced in the MSRC update guide for CVE-2026-100132 (https://msrc.microsoft.com/update-guide/vulnerability/CVE-2026-100132); no exact patched version is specified in the provided data, so confirm the fixed Edge/Acrobat build in the advisory before deployment. Until updated, reduce exposure by disabling automatic in-browser PDF rendering or the Adobe Acrobat/PDF integration in Edge where business use allows - this prevents the vulnerable component from processing attacker-supplied PDFs but removes inline PDF functionality and may disrupt workflows. Additionally, block known malicious URLs at the network/web proxy and train users not to open unexpected PDFs or links; these are compensating controls only and do not replace patching.

Technical ContextAI · show details
CWE-125 describes an out-of-bounds read, where software accesses memory beyond the intended buffer boundary and may expose adjacent memory contents. In Acrobat for Edge, malformed PDF or web content processed by Edge's Acrobat/PDF rendering component can trigger such a read during parsing or rendering, potentially returning sensitive memory to an attacker-influenced context. The supplied CPE cpe:2.3:a:adobe:acrobat_for_edge:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:* uses a wildcard version, so no specific version boundary is provided; the MSRC advisory should be used to identify exact fixed builds. The CVSS vector AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N confirms a remote, unauthenticated attack path that requires victim interaction and has confidentiality-only impact, consistent with the independent assessment.

CVSS VectorNVD
DescriptionNVD
Acrobat for Edge is affected by an out-of-bounds read vulnerability that could lead to disclosure of sensitive memory. An attacker could leverage this vulnerability to disclose sensitive information. Exploitation of this issue requires user interaction in that a victim must visit a maliciously crafted URL or interact with a compromised web page.

SSVC AssessmentENISA
Priority Score
Attack Technique
A buffer overflow occurs when a program writes more data to a memory buffer than it was allocated to hold, causing the excess data to spill into adjacent memory regions.
Information disclosure occurs when an application unintentionally exposes sensitive data that aids attackers in reconnaissance or directly compromises security.
