An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2018-12799 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Adobe Acrobat Dc. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2018-12799/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2018-12799/index.md)","id":"CVE-2018-12799","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2018-12799/index.md","name":"CVE-2018-12799","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-wvcg-3vpx-g7j3"],"analysis":{"component_type":"desktop_application","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["code_execution"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Adobe Acrobat Reader","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Attackers can execute arbitrary code via an untrusted pointer dereference in Adobe Acrobat and Reader.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"null_dereference"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"adobe","cpe":[{"product":"acrobat_dc","vendor":"adobe"},{"product":"acrobat_reader_dc","vendor":"adobe"}],"cvss":{"score":8.8,"severity":"high","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-476","name":"NULL Pointer Dereference"}],"description":"Adobe Acrobat and Reader versions 2018.011.20055 and earlier, 2017.011.30096 and earlier, and 2015.006.30434 and earlier have an untrusted pointer dereference vulnerability.
