Memory disclosure via uninitialized U3D pointer access
Published Jul 15, 2022 · Updated Apr 23, 2025
Uninitialized pointer access in Adobe Photoshop 22.5.7 and earlier and 23.3.2 and earlier allows attackers to disclose memory via a U3D file. The U3D parser accesses memory without properly initializing it, exposing sensitive process contents and potentially weakening ASLR. Exploitation requires a victim to open a malicious file or visit attacker-controlled content; the disclosed data can support a separate code-execution exploit.

Exploitability
Present is not the same as exploitable
Compare your product and version with the public record. A matching version still requires validation against your environment.
Is a vulnerable build present?
Compare these published version ranges with your installed build and any vendor patches.
- Affected versionversion=unspecified <=22.5.7
- Affected versionversion=unspecified <=23.3.2
- Affected versionversion=unspecified <=None
