AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H
Local file-open exploit needs victim interaction (AV:L/UI:R) and no attacker privileges (PR:N); code execution as current user yields full C:H/I:H/A:H with no scope change.

Lifecycle Timeline
2DescriptionCVE.org
Audition 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
Arbitrary code execution in Adobe Audition arises from an out-of-bounds write (CWE-787) triggered when a victim opens a maliciously crafted media/project file, letting an attacker run code in the context of the current user. The flaw was reported by Adobe and is documented in advisory APSB26-71; there is no public exploit identified at time of analysis and it is not listed in CISA KEV. …

Attack ChainAIDerived
Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Exploitation requires the victim to open a malicious file in Adobe Audition (UI:R) and requires local delivery of that file to the target host (AV:L); no authentication or elevated privileges are needed by the attacker (PR:N). … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The CVSS 3.1 base score is 7.8 (High) with vector AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H - local attack vector, low complexity, no privileges required, but mandatory user interaction, with high impact to confidentiality, integrity, and availability. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | An attacker crafts a malicious Adobe Audition project or audio file that triggers the out-of-bounds write and delivers it via email, a shared drive, or a download masquerading as a legitimate audio asset. When the victim opens the file in a vulnerable Audition build, the corrupted memory hijacks execution and runs the attacker's code with the victim's user privileges. … |
| Remediation | Apply the vendor update: consult Adobe security bulletin APSB26-71 (https://helpx.adobe.com/security/products/audition/apsb26-71.html) and upgrade Adobe Audition to the fixed version listed there via the Creative Cloud desktop app's update mechanism - patch available per vendor advisory (the exact fixed build is specified in APSB26-71 and was not restated in this input, so cite the advisory's version rather than an invented number). … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
Recommended ActionAI
Within 24 hours: inventory all Adobe Audition installations across the organization and identify which teams use it for daily workflows; send targeted alert to affected users and managers about the risk of opening untrusted media files and project files from unknown sources. …
