CVE-2026-34632

Code execution via attacker-planted installer library

Published Apr 15, 2026 · Updated Apr 15, 2026

Uncontrolled library search in Adobe Photoshop Installer 2.11.0.30 allows local users to execute code when a victim runs the installer. Photoshop_Set-Up.exe searches an attacker-writable directory for a library and loads a planted replacement without constraining the path. Exploitation requires local file placement and user interaction; the planted library executes with the installer's current-user privileges.
