Memory disclosure via out-of-bounds read
Published Jul 14, 2026 · Updated Jul 14, 2026
Out-of-bounds read in Adobe Media Encoder 25.6.5 and earlier and 26.2.2 and earlier allows attackers to disclose sensitive memory. Adobe has not disclosed the affected file parser, code locus, or boundary value that permits a read beyond the intended buffer. Exploitation requires a victim to open a malicious file, and the reported consequence is memory disclosure without code execution or service interruption.

Exploitability
Present is not the same as exploitable
Compare your product and version with the public record. A matching version still requires validation against your environment.
Is a vulnerable build present?
Compare these published version ranges with your installed build and any vendor patches.
- Affected versionversion=0 <=25.6.5
- Affected versionversion=0 <=26.2.2
