CVE-2022-35675

Code execution via SVG parser use-after-free

Published Aug 11, 2022 · Updated Apr 23, 2025

Use-after-free in Adobe FrameMaker 2019 Update 8 and 2020 Update 4 and earlier allows remote attackers to execute code via crafted SVG files. The SVG parser fails to verify that an object still exists before performing operations on it, causing reuse after its lifetime ends. A victim must visit a malicious page or open a malicious file; successful exploitation runs code in the FrameMaker process under the current user.
