Arbitrary file read via path traversal
Published Jul 28, 2026 · Updated Jul 28, 2026
Path traversal in Adobe Bridge 15.1.6 and earlier and 16.0.5 and earlier allows attackers to read arbitrary files via a malicious file. Adobe has not disclosed which file parser or pathname operation fails to keep attacker-supplied paths within the intended directory. Exploitation requires a victim to open the file; the CNA describes out-of-scope file reads, while Adobe's bulletin labels the impact arbitrary code execution.

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 <=15.1.6
- Affected versionversion=0 <=16.0.5
