Adobe’s Patch Fumbles Zero-Day Acrobat Bug, Researchers Sound the Alarm
Adobe’s patch for the CVE-2024-41869 vulnerability in Acrobat overlooks its zero-day status and existing proof-of-concept exploit, warns researcher Haifei Li. Despite Adobe’s labeling it “critical,” its lower CVSS score may lead sysadmins to underestimate its urgency.
Hot Take:
Adobe’s Acrobat update: More ‘Oops!’ than ‘Eureka!’ The patch might as well come with a side of popcorn because this drama is far from over. Forget zero-days; how about zero-communication?

- Adobe patched CVE-2024-41869, a remote code execution (RCE) bug in Acrobat.
- Researcher Haifei Li reported this vulnerability back in June.
- Despite a proof-of-concept (PoC) exploit existing, Adobe’s patch notes didn’t mention it.

- Expmon plans to release the sample PDF containing the PoC exploit soon.
