CVE-2025-61799: Out-of-bounds Read (CWE-125) in Adobe Dimension
Dimension versions 4.1.4 and earlier are affected by an out-of-bounds read vulnerability when parsing a crafted file, which could result in a read past the end of an allocated memory structure. An attacker could leverage this vulnerability to execute code in the context of the current user. Exploitation of this issue requires user interaction in that a victim must open a malicious file.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
CVE-2025-61799 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 end of an allocated memory buffer. This memory corruption can be leveraged by an attacker to execute arbitrary code within the context of the current user, potentially leading to full system compromise depending on user privileges. Exploitation requires user interaction, specifically the victim opening a maliciously crafted file, which makes social engineering or phishing a likely attack vector. The vulnerability has a CVSS v3.1 base score of 7.8, reflecting high severity due to its impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability, combined with relatively low attack complexity and no privileges required. Although no active exploits have been reported, the potential for code execution makes this a critical risk for users of Adobe Dimension, particularly in environments where untrusted files may be received. The lack of an official patch at the time of reporting necessitates immediate mitigation strategies to reduce exposure.
Potential Impact
The vulnerability allows attackers to execute arbitrary code in the context of the current user, potentially leading to unauthorized access, data theft, or system manipulation. Confidentiality is at risk as attackers could read sensitive memory contents. Integrity and availability are also threatened since arbitrary code execution can alter or disrupt normal operations. Organizations relying on Adobe Dimension for 3D design and visualization may face operational disruptions and data breaches if exploited. The requirement for user interaction limits automated exploitation but does not eliminate risk, especially in targeted phishing or supply chain attacks. The broad use of Adobe Dimension in creative industries worldwide means that a successful exploit could have widespread consequences, including intellectual property theft and reputational damage.
Mitigation Recommendations
Until an official patch is released, organizations should implement strict controls on file sources, only opening files from trusted origins. User awareness training should emphasize the risks of opening unsolicited or suspicious files. Employ application whitelisting and sandboxing techniques to isolate Adobe Dimension processes and limit the impact of potential exploits. Monitor network and endpoint logs for unusual file access or execution patterns related to Adobe Dimension. Consider disabling or restricting the use of Adobe Dimension in high-risk environments. Once Adobe releases a patch, prioritize immediate deployment. Additionally, maintain up-to-date endpoint protection solutions capable of detecting exploit attempts targeting this vulnerability.
