⚠️ A sneaky buffer overflow in Adobe Illustrator could let attackers execute any code they fancy! 💻 Think of it like a restaurant where the chef accidentally leaves the kitchen door wide open. Any random person could stroll in and cook whatever they want, potentially ruining the entire menu! If exploited, an attacker could potentially take control of your system, running arbitrary code with the same privileges as the user. This could lead to data loss, unauthorized access, or worse! Not a dinner party anyone wants to host.
