Executive Summary

This vulnerability is an Out-of-bounds Read issue affecting Adobe Illustrator versions 29.8.4, 30.1, and earlier. It allows an attacker to read memory outside the intended boundaries, potentially exposing sensitive information stored in memory.

To exploit this vulnerability, an attacker needs the victim to open a specially crafted malicious file, which triggers the memory exposure.

Impact Analysis

The vulnerability can lead to exposure of sensitive information stored in memory, which could be accessed by an attacker if a user opens a malicious file.

Since the attacker does not gain control over the system or cause integrity or availability issues, the impact is limited to confidentiality breaches.
