Summary
Illustrator versions 28.7.10, 29.8.2 and earlier are affected by a heap-based buffer overflow vulnerability that could result in arbitrary code execution in the context of the current user. Exploitation requires user interaction in that a victim must open a malicious file.
Risk Assessment
Opening a crafted file may lead to execution of malicious code with the user's privileges, risking workstation and data compromise. The risk is especially relevant in creative environments processing files from unknown sources.
Recommendation
Update Adobe Illustrator to the latest patched version. Train users not to open files from untrusted sources.
