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 processes a specially crafted file, leading to memory corruption. An attacker can leverage this to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the logged-in user. The attack vector is local, requiring the victim to manually open a malicious file (User Interaction required). Adobe has released patches in versions 26.3 and 25.6.6 to address this issue.
