CVE-2023-44325 is an out-of-bounds read vulnerability affecting Adobe Animate versions 23.0.2 and earlier. The vulnerability was discovered by Mat Powell of Trend Micro Zero Day Initiative and was publicly disclosed on November 17, 2023. This security flaw affects Adobe Animate installations on both Windows and macOS operating systems (NVD, ZDI).

The vulnerability exists within the parsing of FLA files and results from the lack of proper validation of user-supplied data, which can lead to a read past the end of an allocated object. The vulnerability has been assigned a CVSS v3.1 Base Score of 5.5 (Medium) with the vector string CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N, indicating local access vector, low attack complexity, no privileges required, and user interaction required (NVD, ZDI).

The vulnerability could lead to disclosure of sensitive memory information and potentially allow attackers to bypass security mitigations such as ASLR (Address Space Layout Randomization). The impact is primarily focused on confidentiality, with no direct impact on system integrity or availability (NVD).

Adobe has released a security update to address this vulnerability. Users are advised to update to the latest version of Adobe Animate through the official Adobe update channels (Adobe Advisory).
