Technical details
The vulnerability is an out-of-bounds write flaw in Adobe Illustrator that permits arbitrary code execution with the privileges of the current user. The attack requires user interaction; specifically, a victim must open a malicious file (likely a crafted Illustrator project or document). No authentication is required and the attack vector is local, delivered via file handling. A successful exploit grants the attacker code execution in the context of the logged-in user, potentially allowing data theft, ransomware deployment, or lateral movement within a compromised system.
