📄 Description (English)
Bridge versions 16.0.2, 15.1.4 and earlier are affected by a Divide By Zero vulnerability that could lead to application denial-of-service. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability to crash the application or render it unresponsive. Exploitation of this issue requires user interaction in that a victim must open a malicious file.
🤖 AI Executive Summary
Adobe Bridge versions 16.0.2, 15.1.4 and earlier contain a divide-by-zero vulnerability (CWE-369) that can cause application denial-of-service when users open malicious files. While currently no exploit is publicly available and patching is not yet available, this vulnerability poses a moderate risk to organizations using Bridge for digital asset management. The attack requires user interaction, limiting its scope but making it a potential vector for targeted attacks against creative and media teams.

🔧 Remediation Steps (English)
Immediate Actions:
1. Inventory all Adobe Bridge installations across the organization (versions 16.0.2, 15.1.4 and earlier)
2. Restrict file opening from untrusted sources and implement user awareness training about malicious files
3. Disable Adobe Bridge if not critical to operations until patch is available
4. Monitor for any available security updates from Adobe
Compensating Controls:
1. Implement file type restrictions and disable opening of suspicious file formats in Bridge
2. Use application whitelisting to control Bridge execution
3. Deploy email gateway controls to block potentially malicious files before reaching users
4. Implement network segmentation to isolate systems running Bridge
5. Enable application crash monitoring and alerting to detect exploitation attempts
6. Restrict user permissions to prevent opening files from untrusted locations
Detection Rules:
1. Monitor for Adobe Bridge process crashes or unexpected terminations
2. Alert on Bridge attempting to open files from external/removable media
3. Track failed file operations within Bridge that could indicate divide-by-zero conditions
4. Monitor system logs for application error codes related to Bridge
🔧 خطوات المعالجة (العربية)
الإجراءات الفورية:
