  - InDesign Desktop versions 19.4, 18.5.3 and earlier are affected by an Unrestricted Upload of File with
    Dangerous Type vulnerability that could result in arbitrary code execution. An attacker could exploit this
    vulnerability by uploading a malicious file which, when executed, could run arbitrary code in the context
    of the server. Exploitation of this issue requires user interaction. (CVE-2024-45137)
