CVE-2024-49541 is an out-of-bounds read vulnerability affecting Adobe Illustrator 2025 version 29.0.0 and Adobe Illustrator 2024 version 28.7.2 and earlier. The flaw can cause Illustrator to read memory outside the intended bounds while processing a maliciously crafted file, resulting in disclosure of sensitive process memory. Adobe indicates that the issue may be leveraged to bypass exploit mitigations such as ASLR. Exploitation requires user interaction, specifically that a victim open a malicious file in the vulnerable application.
