## Technical details

An out-of-bounds read vulnerability (CWE-125) exists in Adobe Audition when processing specially crafted files. The flaw occurs because the application does not properly validate the boundaries of a buffer when reading data, potentially allowing an attacker to read beyond the allocated memory space. This is a local attack vector that requires user interaction, specifically the opening of a malicious file. Successful exploitation can result in the disclosure of sensitive information from the process memory. The issue is addressed in Audition versions 26.3 and 25.6.6.
