Adobe Photoshop versions 22.5.6 (and earlier) and 23.2.2 (and earlier) are affected by an out-of-bounds write vulnerability (CVE-2022-23205) that could result in arbitrary code execution in the context of the current user. The vulnerability was disclosed in May 2022 and requires user interaction, specifically opening a malicious file, to be exploited (NVD).
The vulnerability is classified as an out-of-bounds write issue (CWE-787). It received a CVSS v3.0 base score of 7.8 (HIGH) with the following vector: CVSS:3.0/AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H. The CVSS v2.0 score is 9.3 (HIGH) with vector: (AV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:C/I:C/A:C) (NVD).
If successfully exploited, this vulnerability could allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code in the context of the current user. This means the attacker could potentially gain the same level of access and privileges as the user running Photoshop (NVD).
Adobe has addressed this vulnerability in updated versions of Photoshop. Users should upgrade to versions newer than 22.5.6 (for earlier versions) or 23.2.2 to mitigate this security risk (NVD).
