Technical details
The vulnerability is an out-of-bounds read in After Effects' file parsing logic, triggered when processing a crafted file that causes the parser to read past the end of an allocated memory structure. The attack requires user interaction: a victim must open the malicious file in After Effects. Successful exploitation allows an attacker to execute arbitrary code in the context of the current user. Versions 25.6 and earlier are affected. Adobe has released security updates to address this issue.
