CVE-2024-45146

Code execution via stale SKP object access

Published Oct 9, 2024 · Updated Oct 9, 2024

Use-after-free in Adobe Dimension 4.0.3 and earlier allows attackers to execute arbitrary code when a malicious SKP file is opened. SKP parsing operates on an object without first validating that it still exists, allowing freed memory to be reused during processing. Exploitation requires a victim to open the crafted file, after which code runs with the current user's privileges.
