This update applies to older devices running iOS 12.\n\n## Zero-day?\n\nTechnically this is not a zero-day, because by definition a zero-day is a software vulnerability previously unknown to those who should be interested in fixing it, like the vendor of the target. And since this vulnerability has been known for weeks it is no longer considered a zero-day, although users of older Apple OS versions were unable to install a patch for this vulnerability until now.\n\n## WebKit vulnerability\n\n[CVE-2022-32893](<https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2022-32893>) is an out-of-bounds write issue that was addressed with improved bounds checking. Processing maliciously crafted web content may lead to arbitrary code execution. An attacker could lure a potential victim to a specially crafted website or use malvertising to compromise a vulnerable system by exploiting this vulnerability. The vulnerability exists in Apple's HTML rendering software, WebKit, which powers all iOS web browsers and Safari, so possible targets are iPhones, iPads, and Macs which could all be tricked into running unauthorized code.\n\nApple has already said it's aware of a report that the issue may have been actively exploited.\n\n## Not vulnerable\n\nApple mentions in the security update for CVE-2022-32893 that iOS 12 is not impacted by [CVE-2022-32894](<https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2022-32894>). As we mentioned in our blog about the [two actively exploited zero-days](<https://www.malwarebytes.com/blog/news/2022/08/urgent-update-for-macos-and-ios-two-actively-exploited-zero-days-fixed>) it seems likely that these vulnerabilities were found in an active attack that chained the two vulnerabilities together. The attack could, for example, be done in the form of a watering hole or as part of an exploit kit. CVE-2022-32893 could be exploited for initial code to be run, and this code could be used to leverage CVE-2022-32894 to obtain kernel privileges. This does not mean the WebKit vulneraility can do no harm on devices that are not vulnerable to CVE-2022-32894, as it could be chained with another vulnerability to obtain higher privileges,\n\n## Mitigation\n\nOther than the information that the exploit has been used in the wild, Apple has not released any specifics about the vulnerability.

These flaws were found in Apple, Google, Microsoft, Palo Alto Networks, and SAP products. CISA set the due date for everyone to patch the weaknesses by September 8, 2022.\n\nCVE-2022-22536, an SAP flaw with the highest risk score of 10, is one of the seven. We wrote about it in February, and thankfully, SAP addressed the issue fairly quickly, too, by issuing a patch. CISA even mentioned that if customers fail to patch CVE-2022-22536, they could be exposed to ransomware attacks, data theft, financial fraud, and other business disruptions that'd cost them millions.\n\n[**CVE-2022-32893**](<https://cve.report/CVE-2022-32893>) and [**CVE-2022-32894**](<https://cve.report/CVE-2022-32894>), the two zero-day, out-of-bounds write vulnerabilities affecting iOS, iPadOS, and macOS, continue to [headline](<https://www.malwarebytes.com/blog/news/2022/08/urgent-update-for-macos-and-ios-two-actively-exploited-zero-days-fixed>) as of this writing.

As with other zero-days, technical details about it are light, but the [advisory](<https://chromereleases.googleblog.com/2022/08/stable-channel-update-for-desktop_16.html>) states that the flaw is an \"insufficient validation of untrusted input in Intents.\" The [Intents](<https://developers.google.com/assistant/conversational/intents>) technology works in the background and is involved in processing user input or handling a system event. If this flaw is exploited, anyone could create a malicious input that Chrome may validate incorrectly, leading to arbitrary code execution or system takeover.\n\nGoogle already patched this. While Chrome should've updated automatically, it is recommended to force an update check to ensure the patch is applied.\n\nMicrosoft also has patches available for **[CVE-2022-21971](<https://msrc.microsoft.com/update-guide/vulnerability/CVE-2022-21971>)** and **[CVE-2022-26923](<https://msrc.microsoft.com/update-guide/vulnerability/CVE-2022-26923>)** in February and May, respectively. The former was given an \"exploitation less likely\" probability, but that has already changed--a [proof-of-concept (PoC)](<https://www.malwarebytes.com/glossary/proof-of-concept>) has been available since March. PoC exploits were also made public for the latter Microsoft flaw. However, these were released after Microsoft had already pushed out a patch.\n\nPalo Alto Networks's is the oldest among the new vulnerabilities added to the catalog. Discovered in 2017, **[CVE-2017-15944](<https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2017-15944>)** has a severity rating of 9.8 (Critical).

Six months into the conflict, modern attention spans have moved on to other news stories. But Ukraine Independence Day yesterday should serve as a reminder to everyone that the threats to Ukraine have not gone anywhere. \n\n \n\n\nThe country still faces a physical conflict with Russia every day that seemingly has no easy end, and the barrage of cyber attacks is suspected to continue. \n\n \n\n\nAs discussed in [our livestream yesterday](<https://youtu.be/sIsrNI6Hhwc>), Talos continues to see evolving cybersecurity threats in the region, including the most recent [GoMet backdoor](<https://blog.talosintelligence.com/2022/07/attackers-target-ukraine-using-gomet.html>). And as Joe Marshall highlighted in [his blog post last week](<https://blog.talosintelligence.com/2022/08/ukraine-and-fragility-of-agriculture.html>), Ukraine\u2019s agriculture industry \u2014 which is vital to the global food supply chain \u2014 remains vulnerable to kinetic and virtual attacks. Because there\u2019s been no one major cyber attack against Ukraine since Russia\u2019s invasion began, the larger public perception is that things haven\u2019t been \u201cthat bad.\u201d But state-sponsored actors have continually barraged Ukrainian government entities and critical infrastructure with a range of attacks, including the [infamous Fancy Bear and Sandworm groups](<https://www.darkreading.com/attacks-breaches/five-russia-linked-groups-target-ukraine-in-cyberwar>). \n\n \n\n\nUkraine\u2019s state nuclear power company also said last week that state-sponsored actors [launched a three-hour attack](<https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2022/8/16/ukraine-nuclear-power-company-says-russia-attacked-website>) on its websites. \n\n \n\n\nA three-hour distributed denial-of-service attack isn\u2019t going to headline the nightly news, but that doesn\u2019t mean they aren\u2019t happening and making it harder for the Ukrainian government and critical infrastructure to operate. There are people who, six months into this, are still having to fend off cyber threats daily, sometimes just to keep the internet on or to make sure that week\u2019s grain shipment goes out on time. \n\n \n\n\nWhile headlines come and go, it\u2019s important to remember that there are some things always going on in the background that are bigger than newer headlines that distract us to talk about the newest trojan someone found on the Android store. \n\n \n\n## The one big thing \n\n> > All Apple users should update their devices if they haven\u2019t already. The company [released updates](<https://www.pcmag.com/news/time-to-patch-hackers-are-exploiting-2-flaws-in-ios-macos>) for iOS, iPadOS and macOS last week, warning of two vulnerabilities that [could have been exploited in the wild](<https://www.techtimes.com/articles/279393/20220819/apple-fixes-two-major-vulnerabilities-targeting-webkit-kernel-iphone-owners.htm>). CVE-2022-32894 is an out-of-bounds write issue in the operating systems\u2019 kernel that an adversary could exploit to execute arbitrary code with kernel privileges and [take control over the system](<https://www.cbc.ca/news/business/apple-security-flaw-full-control-1.6556039>). CVE-2022-32893 is an out-of-bounds write issue in WebKit that can also lead to arbitrary code execution. \n\n\n> ### Why do I care? \n> \n> While Apple did not disclose any details of attacks potential exploiting these issues, it did say it was aware of a report that the issues \u201cmay have been actively exploited.\u201d Apple says the vulnerabilities exist in iPhone 6s and later, all models of the iPad Pro, the iPad Air 2 and later, iPad 5th generation and later, iPad mini 4 and later and iPod touch 7th generation. Any users of these devices should patch as soon as possible. \n> \n> ### So now what? \n> \n> Patch, patch and patch again if you\u2019re using any Apple devices. \n\n> \n> \n\n## Top security headlines from the week\n\n \n\n\nThe LockBit ransomware\u2019s website was hit with a large distributed denial-of-service attack after threatening to leak documents belonging to a cybersecurity firm. At one point, the site displayed a warning that the ransomware gang plans to upload the targeted company\u2019s stolen data to peer-to-peer networks. Talos\u2019 own Azim Shukuhi first tweeted that a LockBit member told him the site's servers were receiving \u201c400 requests a second from over 1,000 servers\u201d in a possible \u201chack back\u201d attack. DDoS attacks aim to disrupt a site\u2019s operations by flooding it with traffic and messages, forcing it to essentially shut down for a period of time. ([The Register](<https://www.theregister.com/2022/08/22/entrust_lockbit_ddos_ransomware/>), [TechCrunch](<https://techcrunch.com/2022/08/22/entrust-lockbit-ddos-ransomware/>)) \n\nFormer Twitter Head of Security Peiter \"Mudge\" Zatko filed a complaint to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission alleging that Twitter is not doing enough to crack down on bot and spam accounts. Mudge is known for being involved with the \u201cCult of the Dead Cow\u201d hacking group, one of the first groups of its kind in history. The testimony to the SEC also stated that too many Twitter employees have access to critical user data and the company was not actually deleting user data when it was asked to. The number of bot accounts on the social media site is central to a failed bid for Elon Musk to buy the company. ([CNN](<https://www.cnn.com/videos/business/2022/08/23/elon-musk-bots-twitter-whistleblower-peiter-mudge-zatko-zw-jg-orig.cnn-business>), [The Verge](<https://www.theverge.com/2022/8/23/23317857/twitter-whistleblower-zatko-security-spam-safety>)) \n\nThe FBI is warning that threat actors are increasingly hijacking home IP addresses to disguise credential-stuffing attacks. An investigation from the FBI and their Australian counterparts uncovered two sites that contained more than 300,000 unique credentials that were for sale, warning they could be used in attacks against private companies. The actors are setting up proxies to disguise the flood of login attempts, and by using residential IP addresses, they can avoid usual detection techniques.

But now I'm wondering if people are aware of supply chain attacks.\n\nI thought we hit the pinnacle of supply chain attacks in 2020 with the [SolarWinds attack](<https://blog.talosintelligence.com/solarwinds-supplychain-coverage/>), when these types of attacks dominated headlines and defenders started shouting from the mountaintops about how important it is to be ready for supply chain attacks.\n\nAnd then [Kaseya came along a few months](<https://blog.talosintelligence.com/revil-ransomware-actors-attack-kaseya/>) later when attackers found a different way to deploy malicious updates that were disguised as legitimate patches.\n\nAnd still today, we're [warning about the dangers](<https://www.forbes.com/sites/forbestechcouncil/2022/09/27/mitigating-the-risk-of-supply-chain-attacks-in-the-age-of-cloud-computing/?sh=74f6838bd313>) of how prevalent supply chain attacks are and how everyone needs to be ready for this attacker technique. This leaves me wondering if Kaseya and SolarWinds weren't the breaking point -- what is?\n\nIt seems like no matter how many times we see major ransomware attacks, even coming to the point of making it impossible for people to get gas, attackers are back again with another ransomware attack a few weeks later.\n\nWe still have several hurdles to overcome to fix the supply chain attack problem, as Jaeson Schultz from our Outreach team [outlined in this recent post](<https://blog.talosintelligence.com/developer-account-body-snatchers-pose/>). But it's clear that these attacks aren't going anywhere, and neither are [defenders' warnings](<https://www.infosecurity-magazine.com/news/supply-chain-attacks/>).\n\nAs I wrote at the start of October, it can be easy to poke fun at Cybersecurity Awareness Month because it's impossible to define what it even means to be "aware" of cybersecurity. Clearly, there's still awareness to spread, though, and we keep needing to spread it in regard to supply chain attacks, ransomware and pretty much every other type of cyber attack.\n\n## The one big thing\n\nFor the first time since collecting such data, Cisco Talos Incident Response [saw an equal number of ransomware and pre-ransomware engagements](<https://blog.talosintelligence.com/quarterly-report-incident-response-trends-in-q3-2022/>), making up nearly 40 percent of threats in the third quarter of 2022. It can be difficult to determine what constitutes a pre-ransomware attack if ransomware never executes and encryption does not take place. However, Talos IR assesses that the combination of Cobalt Strike and credential-harvesting tools like Mimikatz, paired with enumeration and discovery techniques, indicates a high likelihood that ransomware is the final objective.\n\n### Why do I care?\n\nThis data represents what Talos IR is actively seeing in the wild over the past few months and is likely representative of the broader threat landscape.\n\n### So now what?\n\nA lack of MFA remains one of the biggest impediments to enterprise security. Nearly 18 percent of engagements either had no MFA or only had it enabled on a handful of accounts and critical services. Talos IR frequently observes ransomware and phishing incidents that could have been prevented if MFA had been properly enabled on critical services, such as endpoint detection and response (EDR) solutions. Talos IR recommends disabling VPN access for all accounts that are not using two-factor authentication.\n\n## Top security headlines of the week\n\nThe Biden administration is preparing to release updated guidelines and warnings around election security with a few days left before the midterm elections. A bulletin reportedly being drafted includes information on threats from Russia, China and other state-sponsored actors. Election workers and local officials are also having to deal with physical threats to polling workers and locations, all while the number of volunteers is dwindling. Earlier this month, the U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency released a PSA stating that malicious cyber activity is "unlikely to disrupt or prevent voting." ([Politico](<https://www.politico.com/news/2022/10/24/biden-election-infrastructure-national-security-warnings-00063134>), [Axios](<https://www.axios.com/2022/10/25/election-cybersecurity-midterm-threats>), [Voice of America](<https://www.voanews.com/a/us-election-security-heightened-/6798070.html>))\n\nApple released security updates for its iOS and iPadOS operating systems this week, including fixes for a vulnerability that "may have been actively exploited." There are 20 vulnerabilities fixed in these updates in all. CVE-2022-42827 is the most notable vulnerability, which could allow an attacker to execute code with Kernel privileges via an attacker-controlled app. This is the third Kernel-related out-of-bounds memory vulnerability that Apple has patched in each of its previous security updates: CVE-2022-32894 and CVE-2022-32917. CVE-2022-32917 was known to be used in attacks in the wild. ([Forbes](<https://www.forbes.com/sites/kateoflahertyuk/2022/10/25/ios-161-update-now-warning-issued-to-all-iphone-users/?sh=7f1998d22cd3>), [The Hacker News](<https://thehackernews.com/2022/10/apple-releases-patch-for-new-actively.html>))\n\nTwo vulnerabilities in Microsoft's Mark of the Web (MoTW) security feature could allow an attacker to send JavaScript files that could bypass security blocks in place. Attackers are reportedly actively exploiting both issues, though Microsoft has yet to issue any formal fixes for the vulnerabilities, and there are no workarounds available. Mark of the Web protects users against files from untrusted sources, but the two vulnerabilities could allow the attackers to construct the files in a way that they are not appropriately marked by Windows.

[CVE-2022-42827](<https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT213489>), has been described as an out-of-bounds write issue in the Kernel, which could be abused by a rogue application to execute arbitrary code with the highest privileges.\n\nSuccessful exploitation of [out-of-bounds write](<https://cwe.mitre.org/data/definitions/787.html>) flaws, which typically occur when a program attempts to write data to a memory location that's outside of the bounds of what it is allowed to access, can result in corruption of data, a crash, or execution of unauthorized code.\n\nThe iPhone maker said it addressed the bug with improved bounds checking, while crediting an anonymous researcher for reporting the vulnerability.\n\nAs is usually the case with actively exploited zero-day flaws, Apple refrained from sharing more specifics about the shortcoming other than acknowledging that it's \"aware of a report that this issue may have been actively exploited.\"\n\nCVE-2022-42827 is the third consecutive Kernel-related out-of-bounds memory vulnerability to be patched by Apple after [CVE-2022-32894](<https://thehackernews.com/2022/08/apple-releases-security-updates-to.html>) and [CVE-2022-32917](<https://thehackernews.com/2022/09/apple-releases-ios-and-macos-updates-to.html>), the latter two of which have also been previously reported to be weaponized in real-world attacks.\n\nThe security update is available for iPhone 8 and later, iPad Pro (all models), iPad Air 3rd generation and later, iPad 5th generation and later, and iPad mini 5th generation and later.\n\nWith the latest fix, Apple has closed out eight actively exploited zero-day flaws and one publicly-known zero-day vulnerability since the start of the year -\n\n * [**CVE-2022-22587**](<https://thehackernews.com/2022/01/apple-releases-ios-and-ipados-updates.html>) (IOMobileFrameBuffer) \u2013 A malicious application may be able to execute arbitrary code with

able to execute arbitrary code with kernel privileges\n\nAside from CVE-2022-42827, the update also addresses 19 other security vulnerabilities, including two in Kernel, three in Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP), two in WebKit, and one each in AppleMobileFileIntegrity, Core Bluetooth, IOKit, Sandbox, and more.\n\n**_Update:_** Apple on Thursday backported fixes for the actively exploited iOS zero-day flaw (CVE-2022-42827) to older devices as part of [iOS and iPadOS 15.7.1](<https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT213490>) updates, along with patches for 17 other vulnerabilities.\n\nThe list of impacted devices consist of iPhone 6s and later, iPad Pro (all models), iPad Air 2 and later, iPad 5th generation and later, iPad mini 4 and later, and iPod touch (7th generation)\n\nThe tech giant also [revised the advisory](<https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT213489>) it issued earlier this week for iOS 16.1 and iPadOS 16 to include 15 more new flaws, including four issues in the Kernel and others in Apple Neural Engine, FaceTime, Graphics Driver, and zlib, taking the total number of fixes to 36.\n\n \n\n\nFound this article interesting?

Apple noted it addressed the bug with improved state handling.\n\nThe update, which is available with [iOS 15.7.2, iPadOS 15.7.2](<https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT213531>), [macOS Ventura 13.1](<https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT213532>), [tvOS 16.2](<https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT213535>), and [Safari 16.2](<https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT213537>), arrives two weeks after Apple patched the same bug in [iOS 16.1.2](<https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT213516>) on November 30, 2022.\n\nThe fix marks the resolution of the tenth zero-day vulnerability discovered in Apple software since the start of the year.

The patches are for vulnerabilities that allow attackers to execute arbitrary code and ultimately take over devices.\n\nPatches are available for effected devices running [iOS 15.6.1](<https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT213412>) and [macOS Monterey 12.5.1](<https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT213413>). Patches address two flaws, which basically impact any Apple device that can run either iOS 15 or the Monterey version of its desktop OS, according to security updates released by Apple Wednesday.\n\nOne of the flaws is a kernel bug ([CVE-2022-32894](<https://vulners.com/cve/CVE-2022-32894>)), which is present both in iOS and macOS. According to Apple it is an \u201cout-of-bounds write issue [that] was addressed with improved bounds checking.\u201d\n\nThe vulnerability allows an application to execute arbitrary code with kernel privileges, according to Apple, which, in usual vague fashion, said there is a report that it \u201cmay have been actively exploited.\u201d\n\nThe second flaw is identified as a WebKit bug (tracked as CVE-2022-32893), which is an out-of-bounds write issue that Apple addressed with improved bounds checking. The flaw allows for processing maliciously crafted web content that can lead to code execution, and also has been reported to be under active exploit, according to Apple. WebKit is the browser engine that powers Safari and all other third-party browsers that work on iOS.\n\n### Pegasus-Like Scenario\n\nThe discovery of both flaws, about which little more beyond Apple\u2019s disclosure are known, was credited to an anonymous researcher.\n\nOne expert expressed worry that the latest Apple flaws \u201ccould effectively give attackers full access to device,\u201d they might create a [Pegasus-like](<https://threatpost.com/pegasus-spyware-blacklisted-us/175999/>) scenario similar to the one in which nation-state APTs barraged targets [with spyware](<https://threatpost.com/protecting-phones-from-pegasus-like-spyware-attacks/167909/>) made by Israeli NSO Group by exploiting an iPhone vulnerability.\n\n\u201cFor most folks: update software by end of day,\u201d [tweeted](<https://twitter.com/RachelTobac/status/1560351690221424641>) Rachel Tobac, the CEO of SocialProof Security, regarding the zero-days. \u201cIf threat model is elevated (journalist, activist, targeted by nation states, etc): update now,\u201d Tobac warned.\n\n### Zero-Days Abound\n\nThe flaws were unveiled alongside other news from Google this week that it [was patching](<https://threatpost.com/google-patches-chromes-fifth-zero-day-of-the-year/180432/>) its fifth zero-day so far this year for its Chrome browser, an arbitrary code execution bug under active attack.\n\nThe news of yet more vulnerabilities from top tech vendors being barraged by threat actors demonstrates that despite the best efforts from top-tier tech companies to address perennial security issues in their software, it remains an uphill battle, noted Andrew Whaley, senior technical director at [Promon](<http://www.promon.co/>), a Norwegian app security company.\n\nThe flaws in iOS are especially worrying, given the ubiquity of iPhones and users\u2019 utter reliance on mobile devices for their daily lives, he said. However, the onus is not only on vendors to protect these devices but also for users to be more aware of existing threats, Whaley observed.\n\n\u201cWhile we all rely on our mobile devices, they are not invulnerable, and as users we need to maintain our guard just like we do on desktop operating systems,\u201d he said in an email to Threatpost.\n\nAt the same time, developers of apps for iPhones and other mobile devices also should add an extra layer of security controls in their technology so they are less reliant on OS security for protection, given the flaws that frequently crop up, Whaley observed.\n\n\u201cOur experience shows that this is not happening enough, potentially leaving banking and other customers vulnerable,\u201d he said.\n", "cvss3": {"exploitabilityScore": 2.8, "cvssV3": {"baseSeverity": "HIGH", "confidentialityImpact": "HIGH", "attackComplexity": "LOW", "scope": "UNCHANGED", "attackVector": "NETWORK", "availabilityImpact": "HIGH", "integrityImpact": "HIGH", "privilegesRequired": "NONE", "baseScore": 8.8, "vectorString": "CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H", "version": "3.1", "userInteraction": "REQUIRED"}, "impactScore": 5.9}, "published": "2022-08-19T15:25:56", "type": "threatpost", "title": "iPhone Users Urged to Update to Patch 2 Zero-Days", "bulletinFamily": "info", "cvss2": {"severity": "MEDIUM", "exploitabilityScore": 8.6, "obtainAllPrivilege": false, "userInteractionRequired": false, "obtainOtherPrivilege": false, "cvssV2": {"accessComplexity": "MEDIUM", "confidentialityImpact": "PARTIAL", "availabilityImpact": "PARTIAL", "integrityImpact": "PARTIAL", "baseScore": 6.8, "vectorString": "AV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:P", "version": "2.0", "accessVector": "NETWORK", "authentication": "NONE"}, "impactScore": 6.4, "acInsufInfo": false, "obtainUserPrivilege": false}, "cvelist": ["CVE-2022-32893", "CVE-2022-32894"], "modified": "2022-08-19T15:25:56", "id": "THREATPOST:DCD8C6A45F83A5C79CA1807D2B2A4A41", "href": "https://threatpost.com/iphone-users-urged-to-update-to-patch-2-zero-days-under-attack/180448/", "cvss": {"score": 6.8, "vector": "AV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:P"}}], "apple": [{"lastseen": "2023-06-03T22:02:46", "description": "# About the security content of iOS 12.5.6\n\nThis document describes the security content of iOS 12.5.6.\n\n## About Apple security updates\n\nFor our customers' protection, Apple doesn't disclose, discuss, or confirm security issues until an investigation has occurred and patches or releases are available.

However, an attacker would have no way to force the user to visit the website. Instead, an attacker would have to convince the user to click a link, typically by way of an enticement in an email or Instant Messenger message, and then convince the user to open the specially crafted file.\n\n[Per Microsoft severity guidelines](<https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/msrc/bounty-new-edge>), the amount of user interaction or preconditions required to allow this sort of exploitation downgraded the severity.

This type of exploit is sometimes referred to as Arbitrary Code Execution (ACE). The attack itself is carried out locally.\n\nFor example, when the score indicates that the **Attack Vector** is **Local** and **User Interaction** is **Required**, this could describe an exploit in which an attacker, through social engineering, convinces a victim to download and open a specially crafted file from a website which leads to a local attack on their computer.\n\nThis vulnerability could lead to a browser sandbox escape.\n\nSuccessful exploitation of this vulnerability requires an attacker to take additional actions prior to exploitation to prepare the target environment.\n\nNOTE: [Per Microsoft's severity guidelines](<https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/msrc/bounty-new-edge>), the amount of user interaction or preconditions required to allow this sort of exploitation downgraded the severity. The CVSS scoring system doesn't allow for this type of nuance which explains why this CVE is rated as Low, but the CVSSv3.1 score is 7.7\n\n* * *\n\n# **Adobe Security Bulletins and Advisories**\n\nAdobe released seven (7) [security bulletins and advisories](<https://helpx.adobe.com/security/security-bulletin.html>) with updates to fix 63 vulnerabilities affecting Adobe Animate, Bridge, Illustrator, InCopy, InDesign, Photoshop, and Experience Manager applications.
