Code execution via malicious file use-after-free
Published Apr 14, 2026 · Updated Apr 14, 2026
Use-after-free in Adobe FrameMaker 2022.8 and earlier allows attackers to execute arbitrary code when a user opens a malicious file. Adobe has not disclosed the affected parser or object; public details establish only that a freed object is reused while processing the file. Exploitation requires user interaction, and resulting code runs in the context of the current user.
