Memory disclosure via out-of-bounds write
Published Mar 11, 2025 · Updated Feb 26, 2026
Out-of-bounds write in Adobe InDesign ID20.1 and ID19.5.2 and earlier allows local users to expose memory by opening a malicious file. Adobe has not disclosed the affected parser, file format, or operation that writes beyond its destination buffer. Exploitation requires user interaction, and the documented consequence for this CVE is disclosure of process memory.
