Synopsis

The version of Adobe Character Animator installed on the remote Windows host is missing a vendor-supplied patch.

Description

The version of Adobe Character Animator installed on the remote Windows host is prior to 4.4. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities including the following:

- An arbitrary code execution vulnerability exists in Adobe Character Animator. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to bypass authentication and execute arbitrary commands. (CVE-2021-36000)

- A privilege escalation vulnerability exists in Adobe Character Animator due to an out-of-bounds read. An unauthenticated, local attacker can exploit this to gain privileged access to the system. (CVE-2021-36001)

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

Solution

Upgrade to Adobe Character Animator version 4.4 or later.
