Technical details

An out-of-bounds read vulnerability (CWE-125) exists in Adobe Illustrator versions 29.8.6, 30.3, and earlier. The flaw is triggered when the application processes a malformed file, leading to memory access beyond the intended buffer. This is a local attack vector that requires user interaction, specifically the opening of a malicious file by the victim. Successful exploitation allows an attacker to read sensitive information from the process memory, which could potentially be used to bypass security mitigations or leak private data. Adobe has addressed this in newer versions as documented in APSB26-51.
