Animate versions 24.0.8, 23.0.11 and earlier are affected by an Integer Overflow or Wraparound vulnerability that could result in arbitrary code execution in the context of the current user. Exploitation of this issue requires user interaction in that a victim must open a malicious file.

The version of Adobe Animate installed on the remote macOS or Mac OS X host is prior to 23.0.12 or 24.0.9. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the apsb25-42 advisory.

  - Animate versions 24.0.8, 23.0.11 and earlier are affected by an Access of Uninitialized Pointer     vulnerability that could result in arbitrary code execution in the context of the current user.
    Exploitation of this issue requires user interaction in that a victim must open a malicious file.
    (CVE-2025-43557)

  - Animate versions 24.0.8, 23.0.11 and earlier are affected by an out-of-bounds write vulnerability that     could result in arbitrary code execution in the context of the current user. Exploitation of this issue     requires user interaction in that a victim must open a malicious file. (CVE-2025-30328)

  - Animate versions 24.0.8, 23.0.11 and earlier are affected by an Integer Underflow (Wrap or Wraparound)     vulnerability that could result in arbitrary code execution in the context of the current user.
    Exploitation of this issue requires user interaction in that a victim must open a malicious file.
    (CVE-2025-43555)

  - Animate versions 24.0.8, 23.0.11 and earlier are affected by an Integer Overflow or Wraparound     vulnerability that could result in arbitrary code execution in the context of the current user.
    Exploitation of this issue requires user interaction in that a victim must open a malicious file.
    (CVE-2025-43556)

  - Animate versions 24.0.8, 23.0.11 and earlier are affected by a NULL Pointer Dereference vulnerability that     could lead to application denial-of-service. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability to crash the     application, causing disruption of service. Exploitation of this issue requires user interaction in that a     victim must open a malicious file. (CVE-2025-30329)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.
