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
Premiere Pro versions 24.5, 23.6.8 and earlier are affected by an out-of-bounds write vulnerability that could result in arbitrary code execution in the context of the current user. Exploitation of this issue requires user interaction in that a victim must open a malicious file.

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 Adobe Premiere Pro version
    Open Premiere Pro and navigate to Help > About Adobe Premiere Pro (Windows) or Premiere Pro > About Adobe Premiere Pro (macOS). Alternatively, check the installed application version through your system's installed programs list or application folder.
    Affected if The displayed version number falls below 23.6.9, or is 24.0 or higher but below 24.6.
  2. Confirm version is within affected range
    Compare your installed version number to the vulnerable ranges: any version before 23.6.9, or any version from 24.0 through 24.5.x.
    Affected if The installed version is 23.6.8 or earlier, or falls within the 24.0 to 24.5.x range.
  3. Assess exposure to malicious files
    Determine whether Premiere Pro is used to open project files, sequences, or timeline files from external or untrusted sources.
    Affected if The application routinely opens project files from unknown or untrusted sources, providing an attack vector for the out-of-bounds write vulnerability.

You are affected if Adobe Premiere Pro version is lower than 23.6.9, or is 24.0 through 24.5.x, and you open a malicious file with the application.
