CVE-2024-39396
CVE-2024-39396 is an out-of-bounds read vulnerability in Adobe InDesign that can expose sensitive memory. This flaw affects InDesign Desktop versions ID18.5.2, ID19.3 and earlier, potentially allowing an attacker to bypass ASLR and other security mitigations. Successful exploitation requires a user to open a malicious file, making user interaction a necessary component of the attack. Despite a CVSS score of 0, the vulnerability should be monitored. With an SVRS score of 30, indicating a low level of active threat intelligence, the immediate risk is less severe, but the potential for information disclosure remains a concern. Organizations should ensure users are cautious about opening files from untrusted sources to mitigate potential exploitation.
