AI-suggested

  1. Apply patches promptly once Adobe releases an official update addressing CVE-2025-61817. Monitor Adobe security advisories closely.
  2. Until patches are available, implement strict file handling policies: block or quarantine InCopy files from untrusted sources and educate users about the risks of opening unsolicited files.
  3. Employ endpoint protection solutions capable of detecting anomalous behaviors or exploitation attempts related to Use After Free vulnerabilities.
  4. Use application whitelisting to restrict execution of unauthorized code and scripts.
  5. Implement network segmentation to limit lateral movement if a compromise occurs.
  6. Enforce the principle of least privilege for user accounts running Adobe InCopy to minimize impact of code execution.
  7. Conduct user awareness training focused on recognizing phishing and social engineering attacks that may deliver malicious InCopy files.
  8. Monitor logs and endpoint telemetry for suspicious activity indicative of exploitation attempts.
  9. Consider disabling or restricting Adobe InCopy usage in environments where it is not essential until the vulnerability is remediated.

Description

InCopy versions 20.5, 19.5.5 and earlier are affected by a Use After Free 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.
