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 vulnerability arises when the software parses a specially crafted file, causing it to read memory beyond the allocated buffer. This memory corruption can be leveraged by an attacker to execute arbitrary code within the context of the current user. Exploitation requires that the victim opens a malicious file, indicating user interaction is necessary. The vulnerability has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 7.8, reflecting high severity due to its impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability, combined with 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 efforts to reduce exposure.
Potential Impact
For European organizations, this vulnerability poses a significant risk, especially those in creative industries, advertising, and digital media production that rely on Adobe Dimension for 3D design and rendering. Successful exploitation could lead to unauthorized disclosure of sensitive design files, alteration or destruction of intellectual property, and disruption of business operations. Since the attack requires user interaction, phishing or social engineering campaigns could be used to deliver malicious files, increasing the threat surface. The compromise of user accounts could also serve as a foothold for lateral movement within corporate networks. Given the high confidentiality and integrity impact, organizations handling proprietary or client data are particularly vulnerable. The availability impact could disrupt project timelines and client deliverables, causing financial and reputational damage.
Mitigation Recommendations
Beyond generic advice, European organizations should implement the following specific measures: 1) Immediately restrict Adobe Dimension usage to trusted users and environments until patches are available. 2) Employ strict email and file filtering to block or quarantine suspicious files, especially those with extensions associated with Adobe Dimension. 3) Educate users on the risks of opening files from untrusted sources and implement policies requiring verification of file origins. 4) Use application whitelisting and sandboxing techniques to limit the execution context of Adobe Dimension, reducing the impact of potential exploitation. 5) Monitor endpoint behavior for anomalies indicative of exploitation attempts, such as unexpected process spawning or memory access violations. 6) Maintain up-to-date backups of critical design files to enable recovery in case of compromise. 7) Coordinate with Adobe for timely updates and apply patches as soon as they are released.
