Adobe released an emergency patch for CVE-2026-34621, a critical PDF zero-day exploited in the wild that enables remote code execution and theft of local files by abusing privileged JavaScript APIs (e.g., util.readFileIntoStream and RSS.addFeed); affected Acrobat/Reader versions across Windows and macOS have been patched and users are urged to update immediately as the exploit is stealthy and evades traditional detection.
