Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.

NVD · unedited
Adobe Premiere Pro version 24.0 (and earlier) and 23.6 (and earlier) are affected by an out-of-bounds read vulnerability when parsing a crafted file, which could result in a read past the end of an allocated memory structure. An attacker could leverage this vulnerability to execute code in the context of the current user. Exploitation of this issue requires user interaction in that a victim must open a malicious file.

Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.

dbcve analysis · high confidence

Adobe Premiere Pro versions 24.0 and earlier, and 23.6 and earlier contain an out-of-bounds read vulnerability when parsing crafted files. The vulnerability allows reading past the end of an allocated memory structure, which an attacker could leverage to execute arbitrary code in the context of the current user. Exploitation requires user interaction—specifically, opening a malicious file.

MitigationApply the vendor patch from Adobe when released. Until then, warn users not to open untrusted media files and consider implementing application whitelisting or file type restrictions for Premiere Pro.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.

dbcve checks

Work through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.

  1. Identify installed Adobe Premiere Pro version
    Open Premiere Pro, go to Help > About Adobe Premiere Pro, or check via Creative Cloud desktop app under the Installed apps section
    Affected if Version displayed is 24.0 (any minor update) or 23.6.x and earlier
  2. Confirm exact version number via system
    On Windows, check Program Files/Adobe/Adobe Premiere Pro [version] folder or check registry under HKLM\SOFTWARE\Adobe\Premiere Pro. On macOS, check /Applications/Adobe Premiere Pro/[version].app/Contents/Info.plist for CFBundleShortVersionString
    Affected if Version number shown is 24.0 or 23.6.0 through 23.0.0 (any 23.x version at 23.6 or lower)
  3. Check if older installations exist
    Search for multiple Premiere Pro installations in Program Files (Windows) or Applications folder (macOS). Also check Creative Cloud for version history
    Affected if Any installed copy of Premiere Pro is version 24.0 or 23.6/earlier
  4. Assess user interaction risk
    Review system logs, recent file access history, or endpoint detection for any recently opened media files (.prproj, .mxf, .r3d, .braw, etc.) from untrusted sources
    Affected if Users have opened or may open untrusted media files in Premiere Pro

You are affected if Adobe Premiere Pro version 24.0 or any version 23.6 and earlier is installed on your system and users could open crafted malicious files with it.
