## Technical details

An out-of-bounds write vulnerability (CWE-787) exists in Adobe Audition versions 26.0 and 25.6.4 and earlier. The flaw is triggered when the application improperly handles memory while processing a specially crafted file. An attacker can exploit this by convincing a user to open a malicious file, leading to memory corruption and potential arbitrary code execution in the context of the current user. The vulnerability is addressed in versions 26.3 and 25.6.6. The attack vector is local, requiring user interaction (UI:R) but no prior privileges (PR:N).
