Technical details

Adobe Bridge contains a path traversal vulnerability (CWE-22) due to improper limitation of a pathname to a restricted directory. The flaw is triggered when the application processes a maliciously crafted file, allowing an attacker to bypass directory restrictions and read arbitrary files from the local file system. The attack vector is local and requires user interaction (UI:R), meaning a victim must manually open the malicious file. Successful exploitation could result in a high impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. Adobe has released patches in versions 15.1.7 and 16.0.6 to address this issue.
