Executive Summary

This vulnerability affects Adobe After Effects versions 25.6 and earlier. It is an out-of-bounds read issue that occurs when the software parses a specially crafted file. This flaw allows reading past the end of an allocated memory structure, which can be exploited by an attacker.

To exploit this vulnerability, an attacker needs the victim to open a malicious file. Successful exploitation could allow the attacker to execute code with the same privileges as the current user.

Impact Analysis

If exploited, this vulnerability can lead to arbitrary code execution in the context of the current user. This means an attacker could potentially run malicious code, steal data, or perform unauthorized actions on your system.

Since exploitation requires user interaction (opening a malicious file), the risk depends on the likelihood of encountering such files.

Mitigation Strategies

To mitigate this vulnerability, avoid opening files from untrusted or unknown sources in After Effects versions 25.6 and earlier.

Since exploitation requires user interaction by opening a malicious file, exercising caution with file handling is critical.

Additionally, update After Effects to a version later than 25.6 once a patch is available.
