David FischerThe new Adobe updates fix critical malicious code vulnerabilities in ColdFusion & others. If you use Adobe applications, you should update these for security reasons.
Due to several vulnerabilities in Adobe Acrobat Reader, ColdFusion, Commerce and Dimension, attackers could attack computers and, in the worst case, execute malicious code. Security updates are available.
The developers have fixed thirteen security vulnerabilities in ColdFusion. Four of them are considered critical. All platforms are affected by the vulnerabilities. ColdFusion 2018 Update 15 and ColdFusion 2021 Update 5 are protected against possible attacks.
Online shops with Commerce and Magento Open Source are also vulnerable. Shop admins should ensure that Commerce/Magento Open Source 2.4.5-p1 and 2.4.4-p2 versions are installed. If this is not the case, malicious code could get onto the server.
Acrobat DC, Acrobat Reader DC and Acrobat 2020, Acrobat Reader 2020 are vulnerable on macOS and Windows. The new versions 22.003.20258 and 20.005.30407 fix six security gaps. Adobe Dimension is also vulnerable to malicious code attacks on macOS and Windows. The updated version 3.4.6 helps here.
