Adobe Animate Vulnerable to Out-of-Bounds Read Vulnerability

CVE-2024-20797

Summary

Adobe Animate versions 23.0.4, 24.0.1, and earlier are susceptible to a vulnerability that allows an out-of-bounds read when processing specially crafted files. This flaw can lead to reading beyond the allocated memory, potentially enabling an attacker to execute arbitrary code within the context of the user. Successful exploitation of this vulnerability necessitates user interaction, as the victim must open a maliciously crafted file to trigger the attack. This emphasizes the importance of caution when handling files from untrusted sources.
