Lifecycle Timeline
4DescriptionCVE.org
Adobe Framemaker versions 2022.8 and earlier are affected by an Integer Underflow (Wrap or Wraparound) 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 FrameMaker 2022.8 and earlier allows local attackers to execute code in user context by delivering malicious FrameMaker documents that trigger integer underflow during file parsing. Attack requires social engineering to convince targets to open crafted files. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, though CVSS 7.8 severity reflects high impact across confidentiality, integrity, and availability if successfully exploited.
Technical ContextAI
Adobe FrameMaker is an enterprise desktop publishing and technical documentation tool. This vulnerability stems from CWE-191 (Integer Underflow/Wraparound), where arithmetic operations on integer values result in values smaller than the minimum representable value, wrapping around to maximum values. In file parsing contexts, integer underflows commonly occur during buffer size calculations when processing malformed document structures. When an underflow causes a small allocation paired with a large copy operation, memory corruption results, enabling control-flow hijacking and arbitrary code execution. FrameMaker's document format parsing routines fail to validate integer arithmetic during file structure processing, allowing specially crafted documents to trigger this condition.
RemediationAI
Adobe has released security updates addressing this vulnerability in APSB26-36. Users should immediately upgrade to the patched FrameMaker version specified in the vendor advisory at https://helpx.adobe.com/security/products/framemaker/apsb26-36.html. Until patching is complete, organizations should implement defense-in-depth controls including restricting FrameMaker document sources to trusted internal repositories, deploying email attachment scanning to block unsolicited FrameMaker files, educating users about risks of opening documents from untrusted sources, and running FrameMaker in sandboxed or virtualized environments where feasible. Application whitelisting and endpoint detection technologies can provide additional layers of protection during the remediation window.
