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.
