CVE-2025-47135: Adobe Dimension Information Disclosure

CVE-2025-47135 Overview

Adobe Dimension versions 4.1.2 and earlier contain an out-of-bounds read vulnerability that can disclose sensitive process memory. An attacker can leverage the leaked memory to bypass mitigations such as Address Space Layout Randomization (ASLR). Exploitation requires user interaction: a victim must open a malicious file crafted by the attacker.

The issue is tracked under [CWE-125] (Out-of-bounds Read) and affects Adobe Dimension installations on both Windows and macOS. Adobe has published a security advisory and released a fixed build.

Critical Impact
Successful exploitation can leak sensitive process memory contents, weakening exploitation mitigations and enabling reliable follow-on attacks against the affected host.

Affected Products

Adobe Dimension 4.1.2 and earlier
Apple macOS installations of Adobe Dimension
Microsoft Windows installations of Adobe Dimension

Technical Details for CVE-2025-47135

Vulnerability Analysis

Adobe Dimension is a 3D rendering and design application that parses a variety of asset and scene file formats. The vulnerability is an out-of-bounds read triggered while the application processes a malformed file. The parser reads memory beyond the bounds of an allocated buffer and returns that data into application state accessible to the attacker's crafted content.

The leaked bytes may include pointers, stack cookies, or heap metadata. An attacker can use these values to defeat ASLR and construct a reliable exploit chain when combined with a separate memory corruption primitive. The bug itself does not grant code execution, but it removes a foundational mitigation.

Root Cause

The root cause is missing or insufficient bounds validation in a file-parsing routine [CWE-125]. When the application processes attacker-supplied fields in a malicious asset file, an index or length value drives a read past the end of the intended buffer. See the Adobe Security Advisory APSB25-63 for vendor-authoritative details.

Attack Vector

The attack vector is local and requires user interaction. An attacker delivers a malicious file through email, a download link, or a shared project asset. When the victim opens the file in Adobe Dimension, the parser triggers the out-of-bounds read and exposes memory contents to attacker-controlled code paths within the crafted scene.

Exploitation does not require elevated privileges on the host. However, the impact is confined to information disclosure from the Dimension process. Chaining this vulnerability with a memory-write bug would be required to achieve code execution.

No public proof-of-concept exploit is available, and the vulnerability is not listed in the CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog.

Detection Methods for CVE-2025-47135

Indicators of Compromise

Unexpected Adobe Dimension crashes or exceptions immediately after opening a file sourced from email, chat, or an unfamiliar location.
Untrusted 3D asset files (for example .dn, .obj, .fbx, .mtl) delivered to design or marketing workstations from external senders.
Adobe Dimension processes spawning child processes or making outbound network connections shortly after opening a document.

Detection Strategies

Monitor for Dimension.exe on Windows or the Dimension binary on macOS reading unusual file paths from user download or temp directories.
Correlate application crash telemetry (Windows Error Reporting, macOS crash reports) referencing Adobe Dimension with recent file-open activity.
Inspect email and web gateways for 3D scene assets delivered to users who run Adobe creative tooling.

Monitoring Recommendations

Track installed Adobe Dimension versions across managed endpoints and alert on any instance at or below 4.1.2.
Enable process and file telemetry from creative workstations and forward it to a centralized data lake for retrospective hunts.
Review endpoint detection logs for anomalous memory access patterns or exception traces originating from the Dimension process.

How to Mitigate CVE-2025-47135

Immediate Actions Required

Update Adobe Dimension to the fixed version identified in Adobe Security Advisory APSB25-63.
Instruct users not to open Dimension project files or 3D assets received from untrusted or unverified sources.
Inventory all workstations running Adobe Dimension and prioritize patching for users who handle externally supplied assets.

Patch Information

Adobe has released a security update for Adobe Dimension addressing CVE-2025-47135. Administrators should deploy the version specified in Adobe Security Advisory APSB25-63 through the Adobe Creative Cloud desktop application or through enterprise deployment tooling such as Adobe Admin Console packages.

Workarounds

Restrict opening of Dimension files to those originating from verified internal projects until the patch is deployed.
Apply application allowlisting or file-type filtering at email and web gateways to block unsolicited 3D scene files.
Run Adobe Dimension under a standard user account to limit the blast radius of any follow-on exploitation.

bash

# Query installed Adobe Dimension version on Windows endpoints
reg query "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall" /s /f "Adobe Dimension"

# Query installed Adobe Dimension version on macOS endpoints
mdls -name kMDItemVersion "/Applications/Adobe Dimension/Adobe Dimension.app"
