Technical details

An OS Command Injection vulnerability (CWE-78) exists in Adobe Animate due to improper neutralization of special elements used in operating system commands. The vulnerability is triggered when the application processes a maliciously crafted file, requiring user interaction (UI:R). Successful exploitation allows for arbitrary code execution in the context of the current user, with a changed scope (S:C) indicating potential impact beyond the application itself. Adobe has addressed this in versions 23.0.16 and 24.0.14.
