Technical details
Lightroom Classic contains a deserialization of untrusted data vulnerability (CWE-502) that allows arbitrary code execution in the context of the current user. The vulnerability is triggered when a victim opens a specially crafted malicious file, requiring user interaction as a precondition. An attacker can exploit this to execute arbitrary code with the same privileges as the affected user. The CVSS 3.1 score of 8.6 reflects the high impact but limited attack vector (user interaction required). Patch information is referenced via Adobe security bulletin APSB26-94, though the advisory details are not currently accessible.
