It’s not ‘Patch Tuesday,’ but software giant Adobe today
released emergency updates for three of its widely used products
that patch dozens of newly discovered critical vulnerabilities.

The list of affected software includes Adobe Illustrator, Adobe
Bridge, and Magento e-commerce platform, containing a total of 35
vulnerabilities where each one of them is affected with multiple
critical arbitrary code execution flaws.

According to security advisory[1] Adobe released,
Illustrator 2020—one of the most popular designing software with
millions of users around the globe—contains 5 critical code
execution flaw, all existed due to memory corruption bugs in the
Windows version of the software.

Digital asset management app Adobe
Bridge
[2] version 10.0.1 and
earlier for Windows operating systems have been found vulnerable to
a total of 17 new flaws, 14 of which could lead to code execution
attacks and are critical in severity—all discovered by security
researcher Mat Powell.

The other 3 Adobe Bridge flaws are important information
disclosure issues.

Besides these, Adobe today also released updates for commerce
and open source platforms editions of Magento CMS
that patches a total of 13 vulnerabilities—with 6 critical, 4
important, and 3 moderate in severity.

According to the advisory, all critical arbitrary code execution
can only be exploited by a malicious authenticated user or an
attacker with the compromised admin-equivalent account.

Though some of the important and moderate severity flaws don’t
require admin rights, an attacker still must need to have access to
a low-privileged account to exploit those issues.

If you own an online store running over Magento, it is highly
recommended that you upgrade your e-commerce website to the latest
version of Magento as soon as possible.
