Description The issue is related to an Uncontrolled Search Path element vulnerability in the Adobe Genuine Service. This vulnerability allows an authenticated attacker with admin privileges to plant custom binaries and execute them with System permissions. Exploitation of this issue requires user interaction. The vulnerability is also associated with an insecure procedure for searching paths to DLL libraries, which could allow an attacker to load a malicious executable file and elevate their privileges.

At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
