MetricsAV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:C/I:C/A:C
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Adobe Creative Cloud Desktop Application versions 5.3 and earlier
Description The issue is related to insufficient input validation in the Adobe Creative Cloud Desktop Application, which can lead to a local privilege escalation. This allows an attacker to perform high-privileged actions by calling functions against the installer. Notably, exploitation of this issue does not require any user interaction.
Recommendations For Adobe Creative Cloud Desktop Application versions 5.3 and earlier, update to a version later than 5.3 to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the installer to minimize the risk of exploitation.
