🔗 NVD Official
📄 Description (English)

Adobe Reader and Acrobat Input Validation Vulnerability — Adobe Acrobat and Reader contain an input validation issue in a JavaScript method that could potentially lead to remote code execution.

🤖 AI Executive Summary

Adobe Acrobat and Reader versions contain a critical input validation vulnerability in a JavaScript method that allows remote code execution with a CVSS score of 9.0. Active exploits exist in the wild with no official patch available, posing immediate risk to organizations using affected PDF software.

📄 Description (Arabic)

تتيح هذه الثغرة الأمنية الحرجة للمهاجمين استغلال نقطة ضعف في التحقق من صحة المدخلات داخل إحدى دوال JavaScript في برامج Adobe Acrobat و Reader. يمكن للمهاجم صياغة ملف PDF خبيث يحتوي على كود JavaScript ضار، وعند فتح المستخدم لهذا الملف، يتم تنفيذ التعليمات البرمجية الخبيثة تلقائياً على النظام المستهدف بصلاحيات المستخدم الحالي. نظراً لعدم توفر تصحيح رسمي ووجود استغلالات نشطة، تمثل هذه الثغرة تهديداً مباشراً وخطيراً للبيئات المؤسسية التي تعتمد على معالجة ملفات PDF بشكل يومي، خاصة في القطاعات الحكومية والمالية والصحية.

🤖 ملخص تنفيذي (AI)

تحتوي إصدارات Adobe Acrobat و Reader على ثغرة حرجة في التحقق من صحة المدخلات ضمن دالة JavaScript تسمح بتنفيذ تعليمات برمجية عن بُعد بدرجة خطورة 9.0 حسب مقياس CVSS. توجد استغلالات نشطة في البرية دون وجود تصحيح رسمي متاح، مما يشكل خطراً فورياً على المؤسسات المستخدمة لبرامج PDF المتأثرة.

🔧 Remediation Steps (English)
1. Immediately disable JavaScript execution in Adobe Reader and Acrobat through Edit > Preferences > JavaScript > uncheck 'Enable Acrobat JavaScript' until patches become available
2. Implement application whitelisting and restrict PDF opening to trusted sources only, deploy email gateway filtering to block suspicious PDF attachments, and educate users not to open PDF files from unknown sources
3. Deploy alternative PDF readers that are not affected by this vulnerability for non-critical operations, maintain network segmentation to limit lateral movement if exploitation occurs, and monitor systems for suspicious process execution originating from PDF reader processes
🔧 خطوات المعالجة (العربية)
1. تعطيل تنفيذ JavaScript فوراً في برامج Adobe Reader و Acrobat من خلال المسار Edit > Preferences > JavaScript > إلغاء تحديد 'Enable Acrobat JavaScript' حتى توفر التصحيحات الأمنية
2. تطبيق قوائم السماح للتطبيقات وتقييد فتح ملفات PDF من المصادر الموثوقة فقط، ونشر تصفية بوابات البريد الإلكتروني لحجب مرفقات PDF المشبوهة، وتوعية المستخدمين بعدم فتح ملفات PDF من مصادر مجهولة
3. نشر برامج قراءة PDF بديلة غير متأثرة بهذه الثغرة للعمليات غير الحرجة، والحفاظ على تجزئة الشبكة للحد من الحركة الجانبية في حال حدوث استغلال، ومراقبة الأنظمة لاكتشاف تنفيذ العمليات المشبوهة الناشئة من عمليات قارئ PDF
