Technical details

A heap-based buffer overflow (CWE-122) exists in Adobe InDesign Desktop versions 20.5.2, 21.2, and earlier. The vulnerability is triggered when the application fails to properly validate input while parsing a malicious file, leading to memory corruption. An attacker can exploit this by convincing a user to open a specially crafted document, potentially resulting in 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 (20.5.3 and 21.3).
