Adobe Photoshop Desktop: Out-of-bounds read causing memory disclosure
Summary
Adobe Photoshop Desktop for Windows and macOS contains an out-of-bounds read (CWE-125) that can expose sensitive memory contents. An attacker can read information from the application's memory by convincing a user to open a malicious file. The attack requires local access to the system and user interaction, and it has no impact on integrity or availability.
Affected
- Photoshop 2026: 27.11 and earlier (Windows and macOS)
- Photoshop 2025: 26.11.8 and earlier (Windows and macOS)
Fixed in
- Photoshop 2026: 27.11.1
- Photoshop 2027: 28.0
- Photoshop 2025: no fix, the product will not receive further updates
Workaround
Unknown.
Exploitation
- Adobe is not aware of any exploits in the wild for the issues in bulletin APSB26-181.
- CISA SSVC assessment: exploitation none, not automatable.
- No public proof of concept found. This does not prove that none exists.
Our recommendation
- Inventory all Photoshop installations.
- Replace Photoshop 2025 installations, as they receive no further fixes.
- Update Photoshop 2026 to 27.11.1 or Photoshop 2027 to 28.0 via the Creative Cloud desktop app or the Creative Cloud Admin Console.
- Remind users not to open files from unknown senders, especially in design and print workflows.
