The technique list with ATT&CK links and the kill-chain view is part of the Basic plan and up.

Exploitation Conditions

Victim must explicitly open a malicious file in Adobe Bridge. No special configuration or feature enablement is required - the vulnerability exists in the default file-parsing functionality. User interaction is mandatory (UI:R). No authentication is needed (PR:N).

Impact

CVSS 3.1 vector AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H yields a base score of 7.8 (High). The local attack vector and required user interaction significantly reduce the risk of remote exploitation; an attacker must deliver a malicious file and convince the victim to open it. No EPSS score is provided, and CISA KEV status is absent, indicating no known active exploitation. No public exploit code is identified. Overall risk is moderate: high impact if exploited, but limited by the necessity of social engineering. No conflicting signals are present in the provided data.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

An attacker sends a specially crafted image or document file to a victim via email or download link. When the victim opens the file in Adobe Bridge, the out-of-bounds write corrupts memory, leading to arbitrary code execution with the privileges of the Bridge process.

AnalysisAIv1 – Jul 28, 2026

Out-of-bounds write in Adobe Bridge allows arbitrary code execution when a user opens a malicious file. The vulnerability requires user interaction and runs code in the context of the current user. No active exploitation or public exploit code is known at the time of analysis.

RemediationAI

Upgrade to the latest version of Adobe Bridge as detailed in vendor advisory APSB26-89 (https://helpx.adobe.com/security/products/bridge/apsb26-89.html). No workarounds are provided; as a general precaution, avoid opening untrusted files in Adobe Bridge until the update is applied. Consider using file-level sandboxing or restricting execution permissions for the Bridge process as compensating controls, though these may impact functionality.

Technical ContextAI · show details

Adobe Bridge is a digital asset management application that parses various media file formats. CWE-787 (Out-of-bounds Write) indicates that a memory buffer boundary error likely occurs during file processing, allowing an attacker to corrupt memory and hijack execution flow. The affected product, as identified by CPE, is Adobe Bridge (cpe:2.3:a:adobe:adobe_bridge:*). The vulnerability is triggered by opening a specially crafted file, suggesting the flaw resides in a parsing routine that mishandles input size or structure.

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.

Memory corruption occurs when a program writes data beyond the boundaries of allocated memory regions or accesses memory in unintended ways, violating the integrity of the process's address space.

Remote Code Execution represents the critical moment when an attacker successfully runs arbitrary code on a target system without physical access.
