Attackers can target systems with Adobe applications and, in the worst case, execute malicious code. Security updates are available for download as part of the Adobe Patchday.

The security vulnerabilities are found in Format Plugins, InCopy, InDesign, Illustrator, Illustrator on iPad, Photoshop, Pass, and Substance 3D Stager. In most cases, attackers can trigger memory errors through an unspecified method and subsequently execute their code. The apps affected are on the Android, macOS, and Windows operating systems. So far, there have been no reports of attacks.
