Adobe InDesign version 18.0 (and earlier), 17.4 (and earlier) are affected by an out-of-bounds write vulnerability that could result in arbitrary code execution in the context of the current user. Exploitation of this issue requires user interaction in that a victim must open a malicious file.

The version of Adobe InDesign installed on the remote Windows host is prior to 17.4.1, 18.1.0. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the APSB23-07 advisory.
