AI-suggested
- Monitor Adobe’s official channels closely for patches addressing CVE-2025-47134 and apply updates immediately upon release.
- Until patches are available, restrict users from opening InDesign files from untrusted or unknown sources, including email attachments and downloads.
- Implement application whitelisting and sandboxing to limit the execution scope of InDesign and reduce the impact of potential exploitation.
- Employ endpoint detection and response (EDR) solutions capable of identifying anomalous behaviors associated with heap-based buffer overflow exploitation.
- Conduct user awareness training emphasizing the risks of opening unsolicited or suspicious files, particularly in creative departments.
- Use network segmentation to isolate systems running Adobe InDesign from critical infrastructure to limit lateral movement if compromise occurs.
- Regularly back up critical data and verify backup integrity to enable recovery in case of ransomware or data corruption resulting from exploitation.
- Review and harden system privileges to minimize the impact of code execution under user context, including avoiding running InDesign with administrative rights.
Description
InDesign Desktop versions 19.5.3 and earlier are affected by a Heap-based Buffer Overflow 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.
