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 improperly handles memory allocation while processing a specially crafted file. An attacker can exploit this by convincing a user to open a malicious document, leading to arbitrary code execution in the context of the current user. The attack vector is local with required user interaction (UI:R). Adobe has addressed this in newer versions (20.5.3 and 21.3).

Affected products
