CVE-2026-27269
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 · uneditedPremiere Pro versions 25.5 and earlier are affected by an out-of-bounds read vulnerability when parsing a crafted file, which could result in a read past the end of an allocated memory structure. An attacker could leverage this vulnerability to execute code 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 confidencePremiere Pro versions 25.5 and earlier contain an out-of-bounds read vulnerability during file parsing of a crafted malicious file. The vulnerability allows reading past the end of an allocated memory structure, which could be leveraged by an attacker to achieve code execution in the context of the current user. Exploitation requires the victim to open a specially crafted 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.
-
Verify Premiere Pro is installedOn Windows, check for the presence of Adobe Premiere Pro in Program Files or via the Windows Registry at HKLM\SOFTWARE\Adobe\Premiere Pro. On macOS, check /Applications for Adobe Premiere Pro.app.Affected if Premiere Pro is found on the system
-
Identify installed Premiere Pro versionOn Windows, run the application and go to Help > About Adobe Premiere Pro to display the version number, or query the Windows Registry key HKLM\SOFTWARE\Adobe\Premiere Pro for the Version value. On macOS, right-click the application in Finder and select Get Info to view the version.Affected if The displayed version is 25.5 or earlier (any version below 25.6)
-
Confirm vulnerability applicabilityThis vulnerability is triggered only when parsing a specially crafted malicious file. No specific feature, service, or configuration setting needs to be enabled for the flaw to exist - the vulnerable code runs during normal file parsing operations.Affected if The installed version is below 25.6 and the user opens untrusted media files
A user is affected if Adobe Premiere Pro version 25.5 or earlier is installed and they open files from untrusted sources, since the out-of-bounds read occurs during standard file parsing.

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 · scoped25.6
Update Premiere Pro to a version newer than 25.5 when a patch is released by Adobe. Avoid opening files from untrusted sources.
Premiere Pro 25.6
- Close Adobe Premiere Pro if it is currently running
- Open Adobe Creative Cloud desktop application or navigate to the Adobe Creative Cloud website
- Locate Adobe Premiere Pro in your installed applications
- Click Update or check for updates to install the latest version
- Alternatively, download Premiere Pro version 25.6 or later from the official Adobe website
- Restart your computer after the update completes
- Verify the installed version by opening Premiere Pro and checking Help > About Adobe Premiere Pro
