Code execution via malicious file out-of-bounds write
Published Apr 8, 2025 · Updated Feb 26, 2026
Out-of-bounds write in Adobe FrameMaker 2020 Update 7 and earlier and 2022 Update 5 and earlier allows attackers to execute code via a malicious file. Adobe has not disclosed the affected parser, file format, or bounds-checking operation that writes beyond its allocated buffer. Exploitation requires user interaction to open the file, and successful execution runs with the current user's privileges.
