Synopsis

The remote Windows host contains an application affected by multiple vulnerabilities

Description

The version of Adobe Illustrator CC on the remote Windows hosts is prior to 25.1. It is, therefore, affected by an uncontrolled search path element that could result in 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.

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