Technical details

An improper input validation vulnerability (CWE-20) exists in Adobe FrameMaker versions 2022.8 and earlier. The flaw occurs when the application fails to properly validate input within a document file, which can be exploited to perform an arbitrary file system read. The attack vector is local, requiring a victim to manually open a maliciously crafted file provided by the attacker. Successful exploitation allows the attacker to bypass security boundaries and read sensitive files from the local file system with the permissions of the current user. Adobe has addressed this issue in version 2022.9.
