CVE-2026-48391 is an untrusted search path vulnerability in Adobe Bridge. The flaw can cause the application to load or resolve executable resources from an attacker-controlled location when processing a malicious file, leading to arbitrary code execution in the context of the current user. Adobe characterizes the issue as exploitable by a low-privileged attacker and requiring user interaction, specifically that a victim open a malicious file. The vulnerability is associated with scope change and is classified as CWE-426. Affected versions include Adobe Bridge 16.0.5 and earlier and 15.1.6 and earlier; 16.0.6 and 15.1.7 are listed as unaffected.
