Technical details

Adobe Bridge contains an Untrusted Search Path vulnerability (CWE-426) in versions 15.1.6, 16.0.5, and earlier. The flaw occurs when the application attempts to load a resource or library without a fully qualified path, potentially allowing it to load a malicious file placed in a predictable location. An attacker with low privileges can exploit this by placing a malicious file on the local file system and tricking a user into opening a legitimate file associated with the application. This results in arbitrary code execution with the privileges of the logged-in user. Adobe has released versions 15.1.7 and 16.0.6 to address this issue.
