Deeper analysis
Adobe Bridge version 12.0.1 and earlier versions contains an out-of-bounds write vulnerability, tracked as CVE-2022-28848 and assigned CWE-787, that can lead to arbitrary code execution. The flaw carries a CVSS 3.0 base score of 7.8 reflecting local attack vector, low attack complexity, no privileges required, and required user interaction, with high impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability.
An attacker can exploit the issue only by convincing a victim to open a malicious file; successful exploitation grants code execution in the context of the current user. No remote or unauthenticated attack path exists without that user-assisted file operation.
Adobe published advisory APSB22-25 at https://helpx.adobe.com/security/products/bridge/apsb22-25.html detailing the affected releases and available updates. The EPSS score has remained flat at a peak of 0.0542 since disclosure, indicating no material increase in observed exploitation interest.
