Adobe apps have serious security bugs that could let hackers take control
Adobe has released fixes for security problems in several of its products, including Acrobat Reader, Photoshop, Illustrator, and ColdFusion. If left unpatched, these issues could let someone take control of a device or change, delete, or steal files when a harmful file or website is opened.
Who is at risk
People and organizations using affected Adobe products, especially on computers where those apps have not been updated, are most at risk.
What to watch for
Watch for unexpected app crashes, unusual pop-ups, files opening strangely, or any Adobe program asking you to open content you were not expecting.
What to do
Update all installed Adobe products right away through the built-in updater or official Adobe website, and avoid opening unexpected PDF, image, or web files until updates are complete.
