If the application uses a search path to locate critical resources such as programs, an attacker could modify that search path to point to a malicious program, which the targeted application would then execute. Exploitation of this issue requires user interaction in that the user needs to open a malicious file.\n\n## Affected\n\n- `acrobat >= 20.001.3005, < 20.005.30838`\n- `acrobat_dc < 25.001.20997`\n- `acrobat_reader >= 20.001.3005, < 20.005.30838`\n- `acrobat_reader_dc < 25.001.20997`\n- `acrobat >= 24.001.20604, < 24.001.30307`\n- `acrobat >= 24.001.20604, < 24.001.30308`\n\n## Remediation\n\nUpgrade past the affected range:\n\n- `acrobat 24.001.30308`\n- `acrobat_dc 25.001.20997`\n- `acrobat_reader 20.005.30838`\n- `acrobat_reader_dc 25.001.20997`","depth":"twilight","depthScore":43,"depthScoreParts":{"impact":42.9,"likelihood":0.1,"exploitation":0,"ransomware":0},"changes":[]}
