CVE-2025-43555: Animate: Malicious Files Can Execute Unwanted Code as Current User

Summary

The Animate software versions 24.0.8 and earlier have a security issue that could allow an attacker to run unauthorized code on your computer if you open a malicious file. This requires the user to take a specific action, such as opening a file, so it's not a random attack. To fix this, update Animate to the latest version.
