Technical details
The vulnerability is an uncontrolled search path element issue in Photoshop Desktop's file loading mechanism. An attacker can exploit this by placing a malicious executable or library in a location that Photoshop searches before the legitimate application directory, causing the application to load the attacker-controlled code. The attack requires user interaction—specifically, the victim must open a malicious file in Photoshop. Successful exploitation allows arbitrary code execution in the context of the current user. The scope of the vulnerability is changed, indicating elevated impact beyond the affected component itself.
