AI-suggested
1. Monitor Adobe’s official channels for patches addressing CVE-2025-47098 and apply them promptly once released. 2. Implement strict file handling policies to limit opening InCopy files from untrusted or unknown sources. 3. Educate users about the risks of opening unsolicited or suspicious InCopy documents, emphasizing caution with email attachments and downloads. 4. Employ endpoint detection and response (EDR) solutions capable of detecting anomalous behavior related to document processing and code execution. 5. Use application whitelisting to restrict execution of unauthorized code and scripts triggered by document exploits. 6. Consider sandboxing or isolating InCopy usage environments to contain potential exploitation impact. 7. Regularly back up critical documents and systems to enable recovery in case of compromise. 8. Conduct security awareness training focused on social engineering tactics that could lead to exploitation. 9. Review and harden user privileges to minimize the impact of code execution under user context. 10. Utilize network security controls to detect and block command and control traffic potentially resulting from exploitation.
Description
InCopy versions 20.3, 19.5.3 and earlier are affected by an Access of Uninitialized Pointer vulnerability that could result in arbitrary code execution in the context of the current user. Exploitation of this issue requires user interaction in that a victim must open a malicious file.
