Code execution via uncontrolled search path
Published Jan 13, 2021 · Updated Sep 16, 2024
Uncontrolled search path handling in Adobe InCopy 15.1.3 and earlier for Windows allows attackers to execute code via a malicious file. Adobe has not disclosed the affected loader, searched filename, or directory-precedence operation that accepts the attacker-controlled path element. A victim must open the malicious file, and resulting code executes in the current user's context.
