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 vulnerability when parsing a specially crafted file. This could allow an unauthenticated attacker to disclose sensitive memory information and cause a denial of service in the context of the current user. Exploitation requires user interaction, where a victim must open a malicious file. The vulnerability can be exploited by a remote attacker to gain unauthorized access to protected information and cause a denial of service.

Recommendations For Adobe After Effects versions 18.2 and earlier, consider avoiding the use of specially crafted files until a patch is available. As a temporary workaround, restrict the opening of malicious files to minimize the risk of exploitation. At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
