Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Adobe Animate versions 21.0.9 and earlier

Description The issue is related to an out-of-bounds write vulnerability in memory. This could allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code, but exploitation requires user interaction, specifically opening a malicious BMP file. The code execution occurs in the context of the current user.

Recommendations For Adobe Animate versions 21.0.9 and earlier, update to a version that fixes this issue to prevent exploitation. As a temporary workaround, consider avoiding the use of BMP files from untrusted sources until a patch is available.
