CVE-2024-53959 is a critical stack-based buffer overflow vulnerability in Adobe FrameMaker affecting versions 2020.7, 2022.5, and earlier. The flaw can be triggered when FrameMaker processes a maliciously crafted file, causing memory corruption on the stack and enabling arbitrary code execution in the security context of the current user. The issue is classified as CWE-121 and is exploitable through local user interaction, specifically when a victim opens attacker-supplied content in the application.
