Lifecycle Timeline
2DescriptionCVE.org
Lightroom Classic is affected by an Integer Overflow 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 Lightroom Classic versions up to and including 15.4.1 is achievable by tricking a victim into opening a specially crafted malicious file, exploiting an integer overflow in the application's file parsing logic (CWE-190). The flaw yields full compromise of confidentiality, integrity, and availability within the current user's context, consistent with the CVSS 7.8 score. …

Attack ChainAIDerived
Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Exploitation requires two conditions: the target must be running an affected version of Lightroom Classic (15.2 through 15.4.1), and must actively open a malicious file crafted by the attacker. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The CVSS 7.8 score and High ratings across all three impact pillars correctly capture the severity of a successful exploitation outcome, but real-world risk is substantially moderated by the mandatory user-interaction requirement (UI:R) - mass exploitation requires repeated social engineering campaigns rather than automated scanning. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | An attacker crafts a malicious raw camera or image file embedding values designed to trigger an integer overflow in Lightroom Classic's format parser, then delivers it to a target creative professional via email, a compromised asset-sharing link, or a poisoned stock-image repository. When the victim opens the file in an unpatched Lightroom Classic installation, the overflow corrupts heap or stack memory in a way that redirects execution to attacker-controlled code, running with the full privileges of the logged-in user. … |
| Remediation | Vendor-released patch: Lightroom Classic 15.5. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
Recommended ActionAI
Within 24 hours, communicate security advisory to all Lightroom Classic users and recommend deferring file opening from untrusted sources. …
