CVE-2024-47458
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 13.0.9, 14.1.2 and earlier are affected by a NULL Pointer Dereference vulnerability that could result in an application denial-of-service. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability to crash the application, leading to a denial of service condition. 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 · moderate confidenceAdobe Bridge versions 13.0.9, 14.1.2 and earlier contain a NULL Pointer Dereference vulnerability in the file parsing logic. When a victim opens a specially crafted malicious file, the application attempts to dereference a NULL pointer, causing a crash and resulting in denial of service. User interaction is required (the victim must open the 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 checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Check installed Adobe Bridge versionOpen Adobe Bridge, then go to Help > About Adobe Bridge to view the exact version number displayed in the dialog boxAffected if The version displayed is 13.0.9 or earlier, OR any version from 14.0.0 through 14.1.2 inclusive
-
Compare version against affected rangesVerify the version number against the known vulnerable ranges: versions 13.0.9 and earlier, or versions 14.0.0 through 14.1.2Affected if The installed version falls within either <= 13.0.9 or >= 14.0.0 and < 14.1.3
A user is affected if their Adobe Bridge installation version is 13.0.9 or earlier, or any version from 14.0.0 through 14.1.2, and they open specially crafted files from untrusted sources.

Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
dbcve · scoped14.1.3
Update Adobe Bridge to version 13.0.10 or later (for the 13.x branch) or 14.1.3 or later (for the 14.x branch). Avoid opening untrusted or unexpected files from unknown sources.
Adobe Bridge 14.1.3 or later (14.x branch recommended over 13.x)
- Navigate to the Adobe Creative Cloud desktop application or visit the official Adobe website
- Locate Adobe Bridge in your installed applications
- Check for and install any available updates
- Verify the installed version is 14.1.3 or later
