Information disclosure via crafted file parsing
Published Jun 28, 2021 · Updated Apr 23, 2025
Out-of-bounds read in Adobe Animate 21.0.5 and earlier allows remote attackers to disclose sensitive information via a crafted file. Adobe identifies file parsing as the vulnerable operation but has not published the affected parser or the specific unchecked read. A victim must open the malicious file, and the resulting disclosure occurs in the context of the current user.
