Memory disclosure via out-of-bounds document read
Published Nov 16, 2023 · Updated Aug 2, 2024
Out-of-bounds read in Adobe InDesign ID18.5 and earlier and ID17.4.2 and earlier allows attackers to disclose sensitive memory. The document-processing locus has not been published; when a victim opens a malicious file, it reads past a buffer boundary and exposes adjacent process memory. User interaction is required, and the bounded consequence is memory exposure that can reveal address-layout data used to bypass ASLR.

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.
