How the CVE Works
CVE-2025-30317 is a heap-based buffer overflow vulnerability in Adobe InDesign (versions ID20.2, ID19.5.3, and earlier). When a user opens a maliciously crafted file, improper memory handling causes data to overflow into adjacent heap memory regions. This corruption allows an attacker to execute arbitrary code within the current user’s context. Exploitation requires user interaction, as the victim must open the malicious file. The flaw stems from insufficient bounds checking when processing file content, leading to memory corruption.
