Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
Adobe After Effects versions 22.0 (and earlier) and 18.4.2 (and earlier)
Description
The issue is related to an out-of-bounds read vulnerability that could result in a read past the end of an allocated memory structure. An attacker could leverage this vulnerability to execute code in the context of the current user. Exploitation of this issue requires user interaction, specifically that a victim must open a malicious file. This could potentially allow a remote attacker to elevate their privileges and gain unauthorized access to protected information.

For Adobe After Effects versions 22.0 and earlier, update to a version later than 22.0 to resolve the issue.
For Adobe After Effects versions 18.4.2 and earlier, update to a version later than 18.4.2 to resolve the issue.
As a temporary workaround, consider avoiding the opening of malicious files until a patch is available.
Restrict access to potentially vulnerable features or modules in Adobe After Effects to minimize the risk of exploitation.
