CVE-2024-20757
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 · uneditedBridge versions 13.0.5, 14.0.1 and earlier are affected by an out-of-bounds read vulnerability that could lead to disclosure of sensitive memory. An attacker could leverage this vulnerability to bypass mitigations such as ASLR. 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 confidenceAdobe Bridge versions 13.0.5, 14.0.1 and earlier contain an out-of-bounds read vulnerability that allows disclosure of sensitive memory contents. An attacker can craft a malicious file that, when opened by a victim, triggers the vulnerability to leak memory addresses and potentially bypass ASLR mitigation.

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 checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Verify Adobe Bridge installationOn Windows, open Control Panel > Programs and Features and look for Adobe Bridge in the installed programs list. On macOS, open Finder > Applications and check for Adobe Bridge.appAffected if Adobe Bridge does not appear in the installed programs list (not vulnerable)
-
Locate Adobe Bridge versionIn Windows Programs and Features, find the Adobe Bridge entry and note the Version column. On macOS, right-click Adobe Bridge.app > Get Info to view the version numberAffected if Unable to locate or read the Adobe Bridge version number

Compare version to affected rangesCompare your installed version number against: any version below 13.0.6 (such as 13.0.5, 13.0.4, etc.), OR any version from 14.0.0 up to but not including 14.0.2 (such as 14.0.0 or 14.0.1)Affected if Installed version is < 13.0.6 OR (installed version >= 14.0.0 AND < 14.0.2)
The environment is affected if Adobe Bridge is installed with version 13.0.5 or earlier, or version 14.0.0/14.0.1
