What to check
- Applies to
- The 8 CVEs named below. Whether you run an affected version is not assessed: check the versions the source lists.
- Exploitation
- No exploitation in the wild and no public exploit is recorded for the CVEs named.
NCSC-NL published an advisory detailing eight vulnerabilities patched by Adobe in Photoshop Desktop, including heap-based buffer overflow, integer overflow/wraparound, uncontrolled search path element, and out-of-bounds write issues. These flaws reside in the handling of specially crafted files opened within the application. An attacker who convinces a user to open a maliciously crafted file could achieve code execution with the privileges of the user running Photoshop, via memory corruption and overwriting of critical data structures.
CVSS scores range from 7.8 to 8.6, indicating high-severity local/client-side exploitation risk rather than remote, unauthenticated compromise. There is no indication in the advisory of active exploitation in the wild; this is a standard vendor patch disclosure. Adobe has released updates addressing all eight CVEs, and NCSC-NL recommends applying them. Defenders should prioritize patching Photoshop Desktop installations, particularly in creative, media, and design-heavy environments where untrusted file exchange (e.g., PSD files from external sources) is common, and consider user awareness around opening files from unverified sources.

What this brief leaves out
This page is the free tier: the write-up, the severity, the names. In the app the same report carries live profiles of the CVEs it names. The paid plans add the security research and news reporting the free tier leaves out.
It sits in a corpus of 16,436 reports from 149 sources, 661 of them written in the last seven days, and it grows through the day.
A new account starts with three days of all of it, no card, then keeps the government and CERT reporting free. Slack alerts are a paid-plan feature: name the vendors you run and Slack hears about the reports that touch them, not the rest of the week's. Nothing is charged unless you subscribe.
