How the CVE Works
CVE-2025-43593 affects Adobe InDesign (ID20.2, ID19.5.3, and earlier) due to improper memory handling when processing maliciously crafted files. An out-of-bounds write occurs when the application writes data beyond allocated buffer boundaries, potentially corrupting memory. Attackers exploit this by embedding malicious code within a specially designed file. When a victim opens the file, the flaw triggers arbitrary code execution under the current user’s privileges, leading to system compromise.
