Language:

Synopsis

Adobe Animate installed on the remote Windows host is affected by an arbitrary code execution vulnerability.

Description

The version of Adobe Animate installed on the remote Windows host is version less than 21.0.2. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability which allows arbitrary code execution in the context of the current user. This is due to an uncontrolled search path element.

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

Solution

Upgrade to Adobe Animate version 21.0.2 or later.
