AI-suggested

1. Monitor Adobe’s official channels for patches addressing CVE-2025-61818 and apply updates promptly once available. 2. Until patches are released, restrict the opening of InCopy files from untrusted or unknown sources. 3. Implement strict email filtering and attachment scanning to reduce the risk of malicious file delivery. 4. Educate users about the risks of opening files from unverified sources and encourage verification of file origins. 5. Employ application whitelisting and sandboxing techniques to limit the impact of potential exploitation. 6. Use endpoint detection and response (EDR) solutions to monitor for unusual behaviors related to InCopy processes. 7. Regularly back up critical data and ensure backups are isolated from the main network to mitigate ransomware risks. 8. Review and enforce least privilege principles to minimize the impact of code execution under user context. 9. Consider disabling or limiting the use of Adobe InCopy in environments where it is not essential until the vulnerability is resolved.
