Description The issue is related to a Heap-based Buffer Overflow that 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 an attacker to potentially execute arbitrary code.

Recommendations For Adobe InDesign versions 18.0 and earlier, update to a version that is not affected by this issue. For Adobe InDesign versions 17.4 and earlier, update to a version that is not affected by this issue.
