What it is about

Adobe Connect ist eine Software zur Erstellung von Informationen, Präsentationen, Online-Schulungsunterlagen, Webkonferenzen, Lernmodulen und für Benutzer-Desktop-Sharing. Ein entfernter, anonymer Angreifer kann mehrere Schwachstellen in Adobe Connect ausnutzen, um beliebigen Programmcode auszuführen oder Cross-Site-Scripting-Angriffe durchzuführen.

Under what conditions?

Over the network and without logging in. This is the most dangerous combination: attackers can scan reachable devices automatically.

What can happen in the worst case

An attacker could use the vulnerability to

  • beliebigen Programmcode auszuführen oder Cross-Site-Scripting-Angriffe durchzuführen

Am I affected?

Affected according to the BSI:

  • Adobe Connect <12.11
  • Adobe Connect Desktop Application <2025.9

The installed version is usually shown under “Help → About” or in the device’s admin interface.

What helps?

Update to at least:

  • Adobe Connect 12.11
  • Adobe Connect Desktop Application 2025.9

Is the vulnerability already being exploited?

None of the CVEs is in the CISA catalogue of exploited vulnerabilities. That does not mean there are no attacks, only that none are documented.
