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 can cause the program to read beyond the allocated memory structure, potentially allowing an attacker to execute code with the privileges of the current user. Exploiting this vulnerability requires the victim to open a malicious file.

Impact Analysis

If exploited, this vulnerability can allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code on your system with the same permissions as the user running Adobe After Effects. This could lead to unauthorized actions such as data theft, installation of malware, or further compromise of your system. However, exploitation requires that you open a malicious file, so user interaction is necessary.
