Adobe Illustrator versions 26.0.2 (and earlier) and 25.4.5 (and earlier) are affected by an out-of-bounds write vulnerability discovered in 2022. The vulnerability requires user interaction, specifically opening a malicious file, to be exploited (NVD).

The vulnerability is classified as an out-of-bounds write vulnerability (CWE-787) that exists within the parsing of embedded fonts. The issue stems from inadequate validation of user-supplied data, which can lead to memory corruption. The vulnerability has been assigned a CVSS v3.1 base score of 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 (ZDI Advisory).

If successfully exploited, this vulnerability could result in arbitrary code execution in the context of the current user. The high CVSS score indicates potential severe impacts on confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the affected system (NVD, ZDI Advisory).
