Technical details

An Improper Input Validation vulnerability (CWE-20) exists in Adobe Premiere Pro versions 25.6.5, 26.2.2, and earlier. The flaw allows a local attacker to bypass security features and achieve unauthorized write access to the filesystem. The attack vector is local, requires no user interaction, and results in a scope change (S:C), though successful exploitation depends on specific environmental conditions (AC:H). Adobe has addressed this in versions 25.6.6 and 26.3.
