Technical details

The vulnerability is an out-of-bounds write flaw in Photoshop Desktop's file parsing logic. The issue occurs when processing specially crafted malicious files, causing memory to be written beyond intended boundaries. Exploitation requires user interaction—specifically, a victim must open a malicious file in Photoshop. A successful exploit allows arbitrary code execution in the context of the current user, potentially providing access to all user data and system resources the user has permission to access. A patch is expected to be available through Adobe's security bulletin APSB26-130.
