AV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:C/I:C/A:C

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Adobe InDesign versions 15.1.1 and earlier

Description The issue is related to a memory corruption vulnerability that can cause an out-of-bounds memory access. This can potentially allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code in the context of the current user by using a specially crafted file. The vulnerability is exploited through insecure handling of a malicious indd file.

Recommendations For Adobe InDesign versions 15.1.1 and earlier, update to a version that fixes the memory corruption vulnerability to prevent potential code execution in the context of the current user. As a temporary workaround, consider avoiding the use of malicious or untrusted indd files until a patch is available. Restrict access to untrusted files to minimize the risk of exploitation.
