Full Report
Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in Adobe products, the most severe of which could allow for arbitrary code execution. Adobe InCopy is a word processor within Adobe Creative Cloud that allows copywriters and editors to write, edit, and format text in InDesign documents, while designers work on the same file in InDesign simultaneously.Adobe Experience Manager (AEM) is a comprehensive content management system (CMS) and digital asset management (DAM) platform that helps businesses create, manage, and deliver digital experiences across multiple channels.Adobe Commerce is a comprehensive, enterprise-grade e-commerce platform, formerly known as Magento Commerce, that allows businesses to build, personalize, and manage online stores.Adobe InDesign is a professional-grade software used for desktop publishing and page layout design.Adobe Substance 3D Sampler is a 3D scanning and material creation software that transforms real-life pictures into photorealistic materials, 3D objects, and HDR environments.Adobe Acrobat Reader is a free software that serves as the industry standard for viewing, printing, and interacting with PDFs.Adobe Substance 3D Painter is a software application primarily used for texturing 3D models. Successful exploitation of the most severe of these vulnerabilities could allow for arbitrary code execution in the context of the logged on user. Depending on the privileges associated with the user, an attacker could then install programs; view, change, or delete data; or create new accounts with full user rights. Users whose accounts are configured to have fewer user rights on the system could be less impacted than those who operate with administrative user rights
Analysis Summary
As a vulnerability research specialist, I have synthesized the information regarding the multiple vulnerabilities found in Adobe products into a structured, actionable summary. Note that specific advisory details (like precise patch versions and high-fidelity CVSS scores) are missing from the provided text, so required fields will reflect this gap based only on the context given.
# Vulnerability: Multiple Critical Flaws in Adobe Products Leading to Arbitrary Code Execution
## CVE Details
- CVE ID: Multiple (e.g., CVE-2025-47108, CVE-2025-30327, CVE-2025-47107, CVE-2025-46840, etc.)
- CVSS Score: Not explicitly detailed for the most severe overarching case, but "arbitrary code execution" implies High/Critical severity.
- CWE: Varied (Out-of-bounds Write, Integer Overflow or Wraparound, Heap-based Buffer Overflow, Improper Authorization, Improper Input Validation, XSS).
## Affected Systems
- Products: Adobe Substance 3D Painter, Adobe InCopy, Adobe Experience Manager (AEM), Adobe Commerce (including Magento Open Source), Adobe InDesign, Adobe Substance 3D Sampler, Adobe Acrobat Reader DC, Acrobat DC, Acrobat 2024, Acrobat 2020.
- Versions:
- Substance 3D Painter: 11.0.1 and earlier
- InCopy: 20.2 and earlier, 19.5.3 and earlier
- AEM CS: 6.5.22 and earlier
- Adobe Commerce/Magento Open Source: 2.4.8, 2.4.7-p5 and earlier, 2.4.6-p10 and earlier, 2.4.5-p12 and earlier, 2.4.4-p13 and earlier (Specific B2B versions listed extensively)
- InDesign: ID20.2 and earlier, ID19.5.3 and earlier
- Substance 3D Sampler: 5.0 and earlier
- Acrobat/Reader DC: 25.001.20521 and earlier
- Acrobat 2024: 24.001.30235 and earlier
- Acrobat 2020/Reader 2020: 20.005.30763 and earlier
- Configurations: Affects logged-on users; impact is higher for users with administrative rights.
## Vulnerability Description
Multiple vulnerabilities exist across various Adobe product lines. The most severe flaw permits an unauthenticated or authenticated attacker to achieve **Arbitrary Code Execution (ACE)** in the context of the currently logged-on user. Specific technical flaws include memory corruption issues (Out-of-bounds Write, Heap-based Buffer Overflow, Integer Overflow) in desktop applications like Substance 3D Painter and InCopy, authentication/validation flaws in server products (AEM, Commerce), and various XSS issues in AEM. Successful exploitation below the OS/network layer could lead to data theft, data modification, installation of further malware, or privilege escalation up to full user rights.
## Exploitation
- Status: Not exploited in the wild (as of advisory issuance date).
- Complexity: Not explicitly detailed, but memory corruption bugs (OOB Write, Heap Overflow) often equate to Medium/High complexity unless easily triggerable.
- Attack Vector: Varies by product: Local/Client-side for desktop apps (likely requiring file processing); Network for AEM and Commerce via web requests.
## Impact
- Confidentiality: High (Potential to view, change, or delete data).
- Integrity: High (Potential to view, change, or delete data; install programs).
- Availability: Medium (Potential system instability or disruption if custom programs are installed/executed).
## Remediation
### Patches
Specific patch versions are not detailed in the provided text, but users are directed to deploy updates released by Adobe addressing the following CVEs across the listed products. **Action:** Users must consult the official Adobe security bulletin corresponding to MS-ISAC ADVISORY NUMBER: 2025-057.
### Workarounds
No specific workarounds were detailed in the source text. General mitigation for client-side ACE vulnerabilities (like those in InCopy/Painter) includes:
1. Restricting user privileges where possible (Least Privilege model).
2. Blocking execution of untrusted files originating from external sources.
## Detection
- Indicators of compromise: Specific IoCs are not provided, but system monitoring for unexpected process execution by Adobe application binaries (e.g., `InCopy.exe`, `AEM_server.jar`) should be prioritized.
- Detection methods and tools: Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) solutions should be configured to watch for shellcode execution or suspicious API calls originating from Adobe application processes.
