Adobe InCopy versions 17.1 (and earlier) and 16.4.1 (and earlier) are affected by an out-of-bounds write vulnerability (CVE-2022-28834) that could result in arbitrary code execution in the context of the current user. The vulnerability was discovered and disclosed in early 2022, with Adobe releasing patches on May 10, 2022. This vulnerability requires user interaction, specifically opening a malicious file to trigger the exploitation (Adobe Security, ZDI Advisory).
The vulnerability is classified as an out-of-bounds write (CWE-787) issue that exists within the parsing of embedded fonts in Adobe InCopy. The CVSS v3.1 base score is 7.8 (High) with the vector string CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H. Crafted data in a font can trigger a write past the end of an allocated buffer, which can lead to arbitrary code execution (ZDI Advisory).
If successfully exploited, this vulnerability allows attackers to execute arbitrary code in the context of the current user. This could potentially lead to complete system compromise at the privilege level of the affected application (ZDI Advisory).
Adobe has released security updates to address this vulnerability. Users are strongly advised to update to the latest version of Adobe InCopy to protect against potential exploitation (Adobe Security).
