AnalysisAI
Adobe XD's file parser contains a classic buffer overflow (CWE-120) that enables arbitrary code execution at the privilege level of the current user when a victim opens a maliciously crafted XD file. The CVSS 7.8 (High) rating reflects full confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact offset by a local attack vector and mandatory user interaction. …

Attack ChainAIDerived
Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Exploitation requires the victim to actively open a specially crafted Adobe XD file on a system with a vulnerable version of Adobe XD installed - this is the sole precondition (UI:R in CVSS). … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The CVSS 7.8 vector (AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H) correctly captures a local file-open scenario: attack complexity is low once the victim opens the file, no privileges are required on the attacker's side, but user interaction is mandatory - a genuine friction point. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | Full exploit scenario with step-by-step reproduction available after sign-in. |
| Remediation | Patch available per vendor advisory - consult Adobe security bulletin APSB26-125 at https://helpx.adobe.com/security/products/xd/apsb26-125.html for the specific fixed version and update instructions; an exact patched version number was not included in the available intelligence and should be confirmed directly from that advisory before deployment. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
Recommended ActionAI
Within 24 hours, issue a security alert to all XD users instructing them to avoid opening XD files from untrusted sources and to scrutinize email attachments or cloud-shared projects. …
