Technical details
A Time-of-check Time-of-use (TOCTOU) race condition (CWE-367) exists in Adobe Creative Cloud Desktop versions 6.9.1.1 and earlier. An attacker with local low-privileged access can exploit a timing window between the application's validation of a resource and its subsequent use. Successful exploitation allows for arbitrary code execution with the privileges of the current user, and because the scope is changed (S:C), it may allow for escalation or impact beyond the immediate application environment. No user interaction is required, though the attack complexity is high due to the precise timing required for a successful race condition. The issue is resolved in version 6.10.0.252.3.
