Impact
An access of an uninitialized pointer in Dreamweaver Desktop leads to arbitrary code execution in the context of the current user. The flaw allows a malicious file to trigger code that runs with the victim’s privileges.
Affected Systems
Adobe Dreamweaver Desktop version 21.7 and any earlier releases are vulnerable.
Risk and Exploitability
The CVSS score of 7.8 indicates high severity, but the EPSS score is not available. The vulnerability is not listed in CISA KEV. Exploitation requires the user to open a specially crafted file, so it is a local file‑based vulnerability that depends on user interaction. Once triggered, an attacker can execute code that runs with the victim’s privileges, potentially leading to system compromise.
