## Technical details

The vulnerability is a code injection flaw in Adobe Animate's file handling that allows improper control of code generation. An attacker can craft a malicious file that, when opened by a victim in Animate, injects and executes arbitrary code in the context of the current user. This requires user interaction (opening a file) and results in a change of scope. No authentication is required beyond the user's ability to open the file locally. Patches are expected from Adobe; refer to APSB26-132 for update guidance.
