CVE-2025-61798
📋 TL;DR
Adobe Dimension versions 4.1.4 and earlier contain an out-of-bounds read vulnerability when processing malicious files. An attacker could exploit this to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the current user. Users who open untrusted Dimension files are affected.
💻 Affected Systems
- Adobe Dimension
📦 What is this software?
⚠️ Risk & Real-World Impact
Worst Case
Full system compromise via arbitrary code execution with user privileges, potentially leading to data theft, ransomware deployment, or lateral movement.
Likely Case
Local privilege escalation or malware installation when a user opens a malicious Dimension file, resulting in compromised workstation.
If Mitigated
Denial of service or application crash if memory protections prevent code execution, with potential data loss from unsaved work.
🎯 Exploit Status
Exploitation requires user interaction (opening malicious file). No public exploit code is currently available.
