CVE-2025-61798 is an out-of-bounds read vulnerability classified under CWE-125 affecting Adobe Dimension versions 4.1.4 and earlier. The flaw arises during the parsing of crafted files, where the software reads beyond the allocated memory buffer, potentially leading to memory corruption. This memory corruption can be leveraged by an attacker to execute arbitrary code within the context of the current user. The attack vector requires local access and user interaction, as the victim must open a maliciously crafted file to trigger the vulnerability. The CVSS v3.1 base score is 7.8, indicating high severity, with attack vector local (AV:L), low attack complexity (AC:L), no privileges required (PR:N), user interaction required (UI:R), unchanged scope (S:U), and high impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability (C:H/I:H/A:H). Although no public exploits have been reported yet, the vulnerability poses a significant risk due to the potential for code execution and full compromise of the affected system under the user's privileges. Adobe Dimension is widely used in creative industries for 3D design and rendering, making this vulnerability relevant to organizations relying on this software. The lack of an available patch at the time of publication necessitates immediate mitigation strategies to reduce exposure.

For European organizations, the impact of CVE-2025-61798 can be substantial, particularly for those in sectors utilizing Adobe Dimension for digital content creation, such as media, advertising, architecture, and manufacturing design. Exploitation could lead to unauthorized disclosure of sensitive design files, intellectual property theft, and potential disruption of creative workflows. Since the vulnerability allows arbitrary code execution, attackers could install malware, establish persistence, or move laterally within networks, increasing the risk of broader compromise. The requirement for user interaction limits mass exploitation but does not eliminate targeted attacks, especially spear-phishing campaigns delivering malicious files. Confidentiality, integrity, and availability of systems and data are all at risk, potentially causing financial loss, reputational damage, and operational downtime. The threat is heightened in environments where Adobe Dimension is integrated into critical design and production pipelines.

Organizations should implement a multi-layered mitigation approach: 1) Monitor Adobe's security advisories closely and apply patches immediately once released to remediate the vulnerability. 2) Until patches are available, restrict the opening of Adobe Dimension files from untrusted or unknown sources to reduce exposure to crafted malicious files. 3) Employ application whitelisting and sandboxing techniques to limit the execution context of Adobe Dimension, minimizing the impact of potential exploitation. 4) Educate users on the risks of opening unsolicited or suspicious files, emphasizing caution with file attachments and downloads. 5) Use endpoint detection and response (EDR) solutions to identify anomalous behaviors indicative of exploitation attempts. 6) Regularly back up critical design data and verify the integrity of backups to enable recovery in case of compromise. 7) Review and enforce least privilege principles to limit the permissions of users running Adobe Dimension, reducing the potential damage from successful exploitation.
