Adobe Creative Cloud Desktop Application < 5.6 Multiple Vulnerabilities (APSB21-111) (macOS)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 155137

Language:

Synopsis

The remote host has an application installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities.

Description

The version of Adobe Creative Cloud Desktop Application installed on the remote macOS host is prior to 5.6. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities.

 - Creation of a temporary file in a directory with incorrect permissions allows an authenticated, local attacker to execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2021-43017)

 - Improper access control allows an unauthenticated, local attacker to escalate privileges. (CVE-2021-43019)

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

Solution

Upgrade to Adobe Creative Cloud Desktop Application version 5.6 or later.
