Synopsis

An application installed on the remote host is affected by an arbitrary file read/write vulnerability.

Description

The version of Adobe Creative Cloud installed on the remote Mac OS X host is prior or equal to 3.5.1.209. It is, therefore, affected by a flaw in the JavaScript API for Creative Cloud Libraries due to an exposed service.
