HighCVSS 7.8Exploitation Probability (EPSS)
Low risk20th percentile - higher than 20% of all known CVEs
Summary
InDesign Desktop versions 20.5, 19.5.5 and earlier are affected by a Use After Free vulnerability that could result in arbitrary code execution in the context of the current user. Exploitation requires user interaction in that a victim must open a malicious file.
Risk Assessment
Opening a malicious file could allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code with the user's privileges.
Recommendation
Update InDesign Desktop to a version later than 20.5 / 19.5.5.
