It has been described as a case of prototype pollution that could result in arbitrary code execution. Prototype pollution refers to a JavaScript security vulnerability that permits an attacker to manipulate an application’s objects and properties.
The issue impacts the following products and versions for both Windows and macOS:
Acrobat DC versions 26.001.21367 and earlier (Fixed in 26.001.21411)
Acrobat Reader DC versions 26.001.21367 and earlier (Fixed in 26.001.21411)

Adobe acknowledged that it’s “aware of CVE-2026-34621 being exploited in the wild.”
The news arrives shortly after security expert Haifei Li, who started EXPMON, shared information about a serious flaw. This flaw lets bad actors run harmful JavaScript code when opening special PDF files in Adobe Reader. Some proof shows that this problem might have been used for attacks since December 2025.
“It appears that Adobe has determined the bug can lead to arbitrary code execution — not just an information leak,” EXPMON said in a post on X. “This aligns with our findings and those of other security researchers over the last few days.”
