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
Audition is affected by an out-of-bounds read vulnerability that could lead to disclosure of sensitive memory. An attacker could leverage this vulnerability to disclose sensitive information. 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 confidence

Adobe Audition contains an out-of-bounds read vulnerability that allows disclosure of sensitive memory when processing a malicious file. The vulnerability occurs when the application reads memory beyond allocated buffer boundaries, potentially exposing sensitive data from the process memory space. Successful exploitation requires user interaction, specifically opening a crafted malicious file.

MitigationApply the official Adobe patch when available. Until then, train users to avoid opening files from untrusted sources and consider implementing application allowlisting or file type restrictions for Audition.

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. Locate the installed Adobe Audition version
    Open Adobe Audition and navigate to Help > About Adobe Audition, or check the version in your system's installed programs list (Windows Control Panel > Programs and Features, or macOS Applications folder > Get Info)
    Affected if The version displayed cannot be determined or is not visible
  2. Identify the major version number
    Note the primary version number (25.x or 26.x series) from the About dialog or installed programs list
    Affected if The major version is 25 or 26
  3. Compare against the first affected range
    If running version 25.x, compare the full version number to 25.6.6 - for example, 25.6.0, 25.5.0, or 25.4.0 would be below 25.6.6
    Affected if The version is 25.x and is less than 25.6.6 (e.g., 25.6.5, 25.5.0, 25.0.0)
  4. Compare against the second affected range
    If running version 26.x, compare the full version number to 26.3 - any version from 26.0 up to but not including 26.3 is affected (e.g., 26.2.0, 26.1.0, 26.0.0)
    Affected if The version is 26.0 through 26.2.x (26.0, 26.0.1, 26.1, 26.2, etc.)
  5. Confirm the application is used to process external audio files
    Consider whether Adobe Audition is used to open, import, or process audio files from external or untrusted sources
    Affected if Users regularly open audio files from untrusted or unknown sources in Adobe Audition

Your environment is affected if Adobe Audition version is 25.x less than 25.6.6, or 26.0 through 26.2.x, and users open files from untrusted sources.
