Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Adobe After Effects versions 18.2 and earlier

Description The issue is related to an out-of-bounds read in memory, which can be exploited by a remote attacker to gain unauthorized access to protected information and cause a denial of service in the context of the current user. This can be achieved by using a specially crafted file, and exploitation requires user interaction, such as opening a malicious file.

Recommendations For Adobe After Effects versions 18.2 and earlier, update to a version that contains a fix for this issue. As a temporary workaround, consider avoiding the use of specially crafted files that may trigger the out-of-bounds read vulnerability until a patch is available. Restrict access to untrusted files to minimize the risk of exploitation.
