Technical details

A Use After Free (CWE-416) vulnerability exists in Adobe FrameMaker versions 2022.8 and earlier. The flaw occurs when the application continues to use a pointer after it has been freed, leading to memory corruption. An attacker can exploit this by inducing a user to open a maliciously crafted file, which can trigger arbitrary code execution in the context of the current user. The attack vector is local (AV:L) and requires user interaction (UI:R). Adobe has addressed this in newer versions, such as 2022.9.
