Technical details

An Incorrect Authorization vulnerability (CWE-863) exists in Adobe Bridge versions 15.1.6, 16.0.5, and earlier. The flaw allows for privilege escalation and unauthorized read/write access when a victim is enticed into opening a malicious file. The attack vector is local, but the vulnerability is notable for having a 'Changed' scope (S:C) in its CVSS metric, indicating it may impact components beyond the Adobe Bridge application itself. Adobe has addressed this issue in versions 15.1.7 and 16.0.6.
