CVE-2026-48441
HighCVSS 8.6Exploitation Probability (EPSS)
Low risk9th percentile - higher than 9% of all known CVEs
Summary
Lightroom Classic is affected by a Path Traversal vulnerability that could lead to arbitrary file system read. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability to access sensitive files and directories outside the intended access scope. Exploitation requires user interaction in that a victim must open a malicious file, and the scope is changed.
Risk Assessment
The risk is the potential for reading confidential data such as configuration files, credentials, or other sensitive information, which could lead to a security breach. User interaction is required, limiting automated attacks.
Recommendation
It is recommended to update Lightroom Classic to a patched version and avoid opening files from unknown sources. Also monitor systems for unusual file read attempts.
