CVE-2026-48345

Arbitrary code execution via malicious file command injection

Published Jul 14, 2026 · Updated Jul 14, 2026

OS command injection in Adobe Animate 2023 23.0.15 and earlier and 2024 24.0.13 and earlier allows local users to execute arbitrary code. Adobe has not published the affected file parser, command-building locus, or the untrusted file element passed to an OS command. Exploitation requires a victim with an affected desktop installation to open a malicious file, after which code runs in the current user's context.
