CVE Alert: CVE-2026-75649 – Adobe

Bridge is affected by a Heap-based Buffer Overflow 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.

This is a high-impact endpoint vulnerability requiring prompt remediation, although exploitation urgency cannot be fully assessed because KEV, SSVC and EPSS status are not provided.

Successful exploitation could give an attacker the same control as the logged-in user, including the ability to access sensitive files, alter data, install malware or disrupt the workstation. The principal business risk is targeted delivery of weaponised project assets to creative, marketing, design or media staff, followed by theft of credentials or confidential content.

### Most likely attack path

An attacker places a crafted file in an email attachment, download, shared folder or collaboration workspace and relies on the victim opening it in the affected application. The attack requires local access through that file and user interaction, but has low complexity, needs no existing privileges and can execute with the victim’s permissions. Scope is unchanged, so direct cross-security-boundary escalation is not indicated; however, accessible credentials and network shares could support follow-on activity.

### Who is most exposed

Organisations with large creative departments, shared asset repositories, frequent external file exchange or unmanaged endpoints are most exposed. Risk increases where users routinely open assets from partners, freelancers or public downloads.

Alert on application crashes or abnormal termination after opening newly received files.

Monitor child processes involving command shells, scripting engines or unsigned binaries.

Review file-origin metadata, quarantine events and downloads preceding execution.

Hunt for unexpected outbound connections from affected workstations.

Check for newly created persistence, credential access or archive activity.

### Mitigation and prioritisation

Upgrade promptly to the vendor’s fixed release, prioritising internet-connected and high-value user endpoints.

Until patched, block untrusted file sources and enforce endpoint application controls.

Use EDR prevention rules to restrict suspicious child-process execution.

Validate backups and isolate affected hosts if exploitation is suspected.

KEV and EPSS values are missing; if KEV is confirmed or EPSS is at least 0.5, treat as priority 1.
