Adobe Illustrator before CS6 allows attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (memory corruption) via unspecified vectors, a different vulnerability than CVE-2012-0780, CVE-2012-2024, CVE-2012-2025, and CVE-2012-2026.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This is a legacy Adobe Illustrator memory-corruption vulnerability in versions before CS6. A malicious file or other unspecified vector could crash Illustrator or potentially run attacker-controlled code. The source bundle does not provide CVSS, detailed affected version ranges, or exact remediation text. Exposure is most likely where legacy Adobe Illustrator versions before CS6 remain installed or can open untrusted Illustrator-related files. The structured affected-products field is incomplete, so validate against Adobe advisory APSB12-10 and actual endpoint inventory. Treat this as a legacy-software risk requiring cleanup rather than emergency incident response, unless pre-CS6 Illustrator is still used on sensitive workstations. Unsupported creative tools that process external files create avoidable code-execution exposure. Mitigation focus: Identify and remove unsupported Illustrator versions before CS6.; Check Adobe APSB12-10 for vendor-approved update guidance.; Restrict opening untrusted Illustrator files on legacy systems..
