Adobe Reader Zero-Day Exploited for Months: Researcher

Security researcher Haifei Li identified a malicious PDF exploiting an unpatched zero-day vulnerability in Adobe Reader that has been actively exploited for an extended period. The attack vector leverages social engineering to deliver a weaponized PDF file, which triggers remote code execution upon opening. The prolonged exploitation window suggests the threat actor may have conducted successful intrusions before detection. Organizations should immediately restrict PDF attachments from untrusted sources, implement advanced email filtering, and consider disabling JavaScript in Adobe Reader as a temporary mitigation until an official patch is released. Users should avoid opening unexpected PDF documents.

Reputable researcher Haifei Li has come across what appears to be a PDF designed to exploit an unpatched vulnerability. The post Adobe Reader Zero-Day Exploited for Months: Researcher appeared first on SecurityWeek .
