CVE-2026-27222
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 16.0.2, 15.1.4 and earlier are affected by a Divide By Zero vulnerability that could lead to application denial-of-service. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability to crash the application or render it unresponsive. 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 confidenceA divide-by-zero vulnerability exists in Adobe Bridge versions 16.0.2, 15.1.4 and earlier. When a user opens a specially crafted malicious file, the application encounters a divide-by-zero error that causes it to crash or become unresponsive, resulting in denial-of-service.

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 if Adobe Bridge is installedOn Windows, check Program Files/Adobe/Adobe Bridge or look in Add/Remove Programs. On macOS, check /Applications/Adobe Bridge or use Terminal: ls /Applications | grep -i bridgeAffected if Adobe Bridge is not installed on the system - no vulnerability present
-
Determine the installed Adobe Bridge versionOpen Adobe Bridge, go to Help > About Adobe Bridge. Alternatively, on Windows right-click the Bridge executable, select Properties, and check the Version tab. On macOS, right-click the app in Finder, select Get Info, and check the Version field.Affected if Version is 15.1.4 or earlier, OR version is 16.0.2 or earlier (but 16.0.0 or newer) - these are within the affected ranges
-
Verify the exact version number against affected rangesCompare your version number to: any version before 15.1.5 (15.1.4, 15.1.3, etc.), or any version from 16.0.0 up to and including 16.0.2. Versions 15.1.5+ and 16.0.3+ are NOT affected.Affected if Version falls into < 15.1.5 or >= 16.0.0 but < 16.0.3 - the system is vulnerable
If Adobe Bridge is installed and the version is either 15.1.4/earlier or 16.0.0-16.0.2, the environment is vulnerable to this divide-by-zero flaw when processing a malicious file.
