Adobe just can’t catch a break. The software giant is once again in the security spotlight after disclosing a slew of vulnerabilities across its product line. These aren’t minor bugs either. We’re talking serious security flaws that could allow attackers to execute arbitrary code on victims’ systems. Not exactly what you want to hear about the software handling your important documents and creative work.
Yet another Adobe security nightmare with code execution vulnerabilities threatening your creative work and documents.
The worst offenders appear in Adobe Acrobat and Reader, with multiple Use After Free flaws, Uninitialized Pointer issues, and Out-of-bounds Read vulnerabilities. Both Windows and macOS users are affected. Great. Cross-platform security problems. Because why discriminate when it comes to potential exploitation?
Adobe Illustrator users aren’t off the hook either. The application contains four significant vulnerabilities, including a Stack-based Buffer Overflow and an Out-of-bounds Write flaw. These issues impact both the 2025 and 2024 versions of the software.
Adobe InDesign joins the vulnerability party with its own set of security headaches, including Out-of-bounds Write vulnerabilities and a Heap-based Buffer Overflow issue.
The company’s e-commerce platform, Adobe Commerce, contains multiple Incorrect Authorization flaws and Improper Access Control issues in versions 2.4.4-p11 and earlier. For the 3D enthusiasts, the entire Substance 3D product line is affected by various buffer overflow vulnerabilities across multiple platforms.
Adobe Experience Manager users should pay particular attention, as the December 2024 update addresses approximately 90 vulnerabilities, including a critical flaw allowing arbitrary code execution.
Adobe Connect rounds out this security nightmare with 22 patched vulnerabilities that could enable code execution and privilege escalation. Users with administrative privileges face significantly higher risks than those operating with limited user rights.
The silver lining, if you can call it that, is that Adobe hasn’t reported any in-the-wild exploitation of these vulnerabilities. Yet. Users would be wise to update their Adobe software immediately. Because nothing says “happy holidays” like a massive security patching session for all your creative tools. According to SecurityScorecard, these vulnerabilities are carefully tracked and cataloged using the NVD API to help organizations assess their exposure.
