Security News > 2021 > July > Adobe Patches 21 Vulnerabilities Across Seven Products
Security updates released by Adobe on Tuesday for seven of its products patch a total of 21 vulnerabilities, including 15 flaws that have been assigned a critical severity rating.
Seven vulnerabilities have been addressed in Adobe After Effects for Windows and macOS. Five of them can allow arbitrary code execution and they have been rated critical, but it's worth noting that they are actually high-severity issues based on their CVSS score.
Six vulnerabilities, including five critical arbitrary code execution flaws, have been patched in Adobe Media Encoder for Windows and macOS. One critical code execution bug and one moderate-severity file system read issue have been patched in Photoshop, and two critical code execution vulnerabilities have been fixed in Adobe Prelude.
Adobe says it's not aware of any in-the-wild exploits for the vulnerabilities patched this week, and since all the advisories have a priority rating of 3, the company likely does not expect them to be targeted by malicious actors.
More than half of the vulnerabilities were reported by researchers from Trend Micro's Zero Day Initiative and China-based Topsec Alpha Team.
Researchers based in China are often credited by Adobe for reporting vulnerabilities in the company's products.
