CVE-2026-48392: Adobe Bridge out-of-bounds write arbitrary code execution

CVE-2026-48392 · Severity: high · CVSS 7.8 · Published 2026-07-28

Adobe Bridge, a creative asset management tool, is affected by a security flaw that could allow an attacker to take control of a user's computer. To exploit this, an attacker would need to trick a user into opening a specially crafted malicious file. If successful, the attacker could run unauthorized software or access sensitive data with the same permissions as the logged-in user.

Technical details

An out-of-bounds write vulnerability (CWE-787) exists in Adobe Bridge versions 15.1.6, 16.0.5, 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 within the security context of the current user. The attack vector is local, requiring a user to manually open a malicious file (User Interaction: Required). Adobe has released patches in versions 15.1.7 and 16.0.6 to address this issue.
