User-assisted code execution via path traversal
Published Jul 14, 2026 · Updated Jul 14, 2026
Path traversal in Adobe Animate 2023 23.0.15 and earlier and 2024 24.0.13 and earlier allows attackers to execute code via malicious files. Adobe has not disclosed the affected parser, file format, or unsafe pathname operation that escapes the intended directory restrictions. Opening a malicious file is required; successful exploitation runs code with the current user's privileges and can access files or directories outside the intended boundary.

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 <=23.0.15
- Affected versionversion=0 <=24.0.13
