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 Animate contains an out-of-bounds read vulnerability in versions 23.0.7, 24.0.4 and earlier. The flaw allows reading sensitive memory contents beyond allocated boundaries, which can leak information useful for bypassing ASLR mitigations.

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 Animate installationOn Windows, check for Adobe Animate in the program files directory (C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Animate *) or use Programs and Features. On macOS, check /Applications/Adobe Animate.appAffected if Adobe Animate is installed on the system
-
Determine installed version numberRight-click the Adobe Animate executable (Adobe Animate.exe on Windows, Adobe Animate.app on macOS), select Properties, and view the Version tab. Alternatively, run 'Get-ItemProperty' in PowerShell for the Animate executable in Program FilesAffected if The exact version cannot be determined from the installed application
-
Compare version against affected rangesMatch the installed version (e.g., 23.0.5, 24.0.2) against the vulnerable ranges: 23.0.0 through 23.0.7 (all versions before 23.0.8), or 24.0.0 through 24.0.4 (all versions before 24.0.5)Affected if Installed version is 23.0.0-23.0.7 OR 24.0.0-24.0.4
If Adobe Animate is present and the installed version falls within 23.0.0-23.0.7 or 24.0.0-24.0.4, the environment is vulnerable to CVE-2024-47419 out-of-bounds read attacks.
