AI-suggested

Until Adobe releases an official patch, organizations should implement several specific mitigations: 1) Enforce strict file handling policies by restricting the opening of InCopy files from untrusted or unknown sources. 2) Employ email and endpoint security solutions with advanced file scanning and sandboxing capabilities to detect and block malicious InCopy files. 3) Educate users on the risks of opening unsolicited or suspicious files and promote cautious behavior. 4) Use application whitelisting to limit execution of unauthorized code. 5) Monitor systems for unusual behavior indicative of exploitation attempts, such as unexpected process launches or memory anomalies. 6) Maintain up-to-date backups to enable recovery in case of compromise. 7) Prepare to deploy Adobe patches promptly once available, and test updates in controlled environments before widespread rollout. These targeted actions reduce the attack surface and improve organizational resilience against this vulnerability.

Description

InCopy versions 20.4, 19.5.4 and earlier are affected by an out-of-bounds write 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.
