Privilege escalation to arbitrary file writes
Published Feb 13, 2020 · Updated Aug 4, 2024
Privilege escalation in Adobe Acrobat and Reader 2019.021.20061 and earlier allows attackers to write arbitrary files via unspecified vectors. Adobe identifies the affected locus only as a privilege-escalation issue and does not publish the file operation or trigger. Exploitation prerequisites and reachability remain undisclosed, while the documented consequence is arbitrary file-system modification.
