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

Description The issue is related to a use-after-free vulnerability in the processing of a malformed FLA file, which could result in arbitrary code execution in the context of the current user. Exploitation of this issue requires user interaction, where a victim must open a malicious file. This allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code.

Recommendations For Adobe Animate versions 21.0.9 and earlier, update to a version later than 21.0.9 to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider avoiding the use of FLA files from untrusted sources to minimize the risk of exploitation.
