Software maker Adobe on Tuesday released security patches for 29 documented vulnerabilities across multiple enterprise-facing products and warned that hackers could exploit these bugs to take complete control of vulnerable machines.
As part of its scheduled Patch Tuesday release cycle, Adobe warned the vulnerabilities could expose both Windows and macOS users to arbitrary code execution, arbitrary file system write, security feature bypass and privilege escalation attacks.
The most urgent of the patches cover security defects in ColdFusion versions 2021 and 2018. According to an Adobe critical-rated advisory, a total of 13 ColdFusion flaws were fixed, including some carrying a CVSS 9.8/10 severity rating.
Adobe’s security response team also shipped a high-priority patch for the Adobe Commerce and Magento Open Source software with a warning that a critical-level bug could expose users to arbitrary code execution attacks.

Adobe also released patches to cover a half-dozen flaws affecting the widely deployed Adobe Acrobat and Reader software.
