Access of an uninitialized pointer in Adobe Animate 23.0.7 and 24.0.4 and earlier allows attackers to execute code via a malicious file. Adobe has not disclosed the affected parser, file structure, or exact operation beyond an uninitialized pointer access. Exploitation requires a victim to open the crafted file, and successful exploitation runs code in the current user's context.
