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
InCopy versions 20.2, 19.5.3 and earlier are affected by a Heap-based Buffer Overflow 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 confidence

A heap-based buffer overflow vulnerability exists in Adobe InCopy versions 20.2, 19.5.3 and earlier. When a user opens a maliciously crafted file, the overflow allows an attacker to execute arbitrary code in the context of the current user session.

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. Verify Adobe InCopy installation
    Check for InCopy installation by searching for 'InCopy.exe' in common program directories or using system inventory tools like 'wmic product get name,version' or checking registry under HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall
    Affected if Adobe InCopy is not found on the system - the CVE does not apply
  2. Locate InCopy executable
    Find InCopy executable (typically InCopy.exe) in Program Files or Program Files (x86) folders, or use 'where InCopy.exe' command if in PATH
    Affected if InCopy executable exists - proceed to version check
  3. Retrieve installed version
    Right-click InCopy.exe, select Properties, then Details tab to view File Version; or use command 'wmic datafile where name="C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe InCopy CC 2024\InCopy.exe" get Version' adjusting path as needed
    Affected if Version number cannot be determined - assume potentially affected if installed
  4. Compare version against affected ranges
    Check if version is less than 19.5.4, or falls between 20.0 and 20.3 (including 20.2). For example: 19.5.3, 19.5, 20.0, 20.1, 20.2 are all affected
    Affected if Version is < 19.5.4 OR (version >= 20.0 AND version < 20.3) - system is vulnerable
  5. Confirm file handling context
    This vulnerability triggers when opening a maliciously crafted file. Check if InCopy is configured to open files from untrusted sources or if users have permission to open external files
    Affected if Users can open unsolicited files from unknown or untrusted sources - exploitation pathway exists

System is affected by CVE-2025-47107 if Adobe InCopy is installed with a version less than 19.5.4, or version 20.0 through 20.3 inclusive, and users can open files from untrusted sources.
