CVE-2025-43547
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 15.0.3, 14.1.6 and earlier are affected by an Integer Overflow or Wraparound 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.
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 contains an integer overflow vulnerability in its file parsing logic. When processing a specially crafted malicious file, the integer overflow can lead to heap corruption, which can be leveraged for arbitrary code execution in the context of the current user.

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 is installedCheck for Adobe Bridge installation: On Windows, look in C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Bridge or C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Bridge; On macOS, check /Applications/Adobe BridgeAffected if Adobe Bridge is not installed on the system
-
Determine installed Adobe Bridge versionRight-click Adobe Bridge.exe (Windows) or Adobe Bridge.app (macOS), select Properties > Details to view the File Version, or run 'acrord32.exe' version check if available via command lineAffected if Unable to determine version number
-
Compare version against affected rangesCompare your installed version to the vulnerable ranges: 14.0.0 through 14.1.6, or 15.0 through 15.0.3 are affected. Versions below 14.0.0, 14.1.7 and above, or 15.0.4 and above are not affectedAffected if Installed version falls within >= 14.0.0 and < 14.1.7, OR >= 15.0 and < 15.0.4
Your environment is affected only if Adobe Bridge is installed AND the installed version falls within the vulnerable version ranges, and you process a specially crafted malicious file with the affected software.

dbcve · scoped14.1.715.0.4
Update Adobe Bridge to the latest patched version. Users should avoid opening files from untrusted sources.
Adobe Bridge 14.1.7 (for 14.x branch) or Adobe Bridge 15.0.4 (for 15.x branch)
- Identify the currently installed Adobe Bridge version by opening Bridge and checking Help > About Adobe Bridge
- If using Bridge 14.x (14.0.0 through 14.1.6), upgrade to version 14.1.7 or later
- If using Bridge 15.x (15.0.0 through 15.0.3), upgrade to version 15.0.4 or later
- Download the appropriate updated version from the official Adobe website or Creative Cloud desktop application
- Install the update and restart Bridge
- Verify the installed version reflects the patched release (14.1.7+ or 15.0.4+)
