Adobe Fixes Major Security Flaws – What You Need to Know
Adobe has released a new round of important security updates as part of its June Patch Tuesday. If you use programs like Acrobat, Adobe Commerce, InCopy, or Experience Manager, these updates are especially relevant. They fix a wide range of security issues, some of which could allow hackers to run malicious code, crash your system, or bypass built-in protections.
For Adobe Acrobat users on both Windows and macOS, ten vulnerabilities have been addressed. Four of these were classified as high-risk. If left unpatched, these flaws could allow attackers to execute unauthorized code, access sensitive memory information, cause system crashes, or get around the program’s security defenses.
Adobe Commerce received updates for five vulnerabilities. These bugs could be exploited to run code remotely, which poses a significant threat to online stores and other businesses using the platform.
In Adobe InCopy, two serious vulnerabilities were fixed. Both could potentially allow a cybercriminal to execute harmful commands through the program, opening the door to further exploitation.
The largest number of fixes came for Adobe Experience Manager (AEM), with over 225 vulnerabilities resolved. Some of these issues could let attackers gain elevated privileges, run unauthorized code, or bypass security measures entirely.
Adobe strongly recommends that all users update their software as soon as possible. Most Adobe programs will prompt users when an update is available, but it’s a good idea to manually check. You can typically find the update option under the “Help” menu in each application.
While security updates may not always seem urgent, installing them quickly is one of the best ways to protect your system from evolving cyber threats. Whether you’re a casual user or running a business, keeping your Adobe software up to date is an easy step toward stronger security.
