CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:HSummary
CVE-2026-48349 is a high-severity Incorrect Authorization (CWE-863) vulnerability in Adobe Animate. Its CVSS base score is 8.1 (High).
Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Exploitation for Client Execution (T1203); ranked at the 9th percentile by exploit likelihood (below the median); it is not currently listed in the CISA KEV catalog.
The strongest mitigations our analysis identified map to AC-3 (Access Enforcement) and AC-6 (Least Privilege) — see the control section below for these in your framework.

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI
Directly enforces correct authorization decisions before allowing actions that could lead to arbitrary code execution.
Limits privileges so that an authorization bypass yields only the minimal rights needed for the current user context.
Enforces information flow rules that can block unauthorized code paths even when an individual authorization check is flawed.

Defining, enforcing, and reviewing access authorizations and least privilege directly prevents incorrect authorization checks.

Requiring consistency between access rights and classification plus formal approval steps ensures that the authorization logic correctly distinguishes between entities that should and should not be granted access.
Enforcing policy-driven approval and role-change reviews stops incorrect or stale authorization decisions from remaining in effect after job changes or terminations.
By tying access rights to identity, device, location and classification, the control reduces the likelihood that an authorization decision will be based on an incorrect or bypassed policy.
