Adobe Illustrator version 25.2.3 (and earlier) is affected by an Out-of-bounds Write vulnerability when parsing a specially crafted file. An unauthenticated attacker could leverage this vulnerability to achieve arbitrary code execution in the context of the current user. Exploitation of this issue requires user interaction in that a victim must open a malicious file.

The version of Adobe Illustrator installed on the remote macOS host is prior to 25.3.0. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the APSB21-42 advisory.

  - Adobe Illustrator version 25.2.3 (and earlier) is affected by a potential Command injection vulnerability     when chained with a development and debugging tool for JavaScript scripts. An unauthenticated attacker     could leverage this vulnerability to achieve arbitrary code execution in the context of the current user.
    Exploitation of this issue requires user interaction in that a victim must open a malicious file.
    (CVE-2021-36011)

  - Adobe Illustrator version 25.2.3 (and earlier) is affected by a Use After Free vulnerability when parsing     a specially crafted file. An unauthenticated attacker could leverage this vulnerability to disclose     potential sensitive information in the context of the current user. Exploitation of this issue requires     user interaction in that a victim must open a malicious file. (CVE-2021-28593)

  - Adobe Illustrator version 25.2.3 (and earlier) is affected by an Use-after-free vulnerability when parsing     a specially crafted file. An unauthenticated attacker could leverage this vulnerability to read arbitrary     file system information in the context of the current user. Exploitation of this issue requires user     interaction in that a victim must open a malicious file. (CVE-2021-36008)

  - Adobe Illustrator version 25.2.3 (and earlier) is affected by an Out-of-bounds Write vulnerability when     parsing a specially crafted file. An unauthenticated attacker could leverage this vulnerability to achieve     arbitrary code execution in the context of the current user. Exploitation of this issue requires user     interaction in that a victim must open a malicious file. (CVE-2021-28591, CVE-2021-28592)

  - Adobe Illustrator version 25.2.3 (and earlier) is affected by an out-of-bounds read vulnerability that     could lead to disclosure of memory. An attacker could leverage this vulnerability to bypass mitigations     such as ASLR. Exploitation of this issue requires user interaction in that a victim must open a malicious     file. (CVE-2021-36010)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.
