Adobe Acrobat and Reader versiones 2019.010.20069 y anteriores, 2019.010.20069 y anteriores, 2017.011.30113 y versión anterior, y 2015.006.30464 y anteriores tienen una vulnerabilidad de omisión de seguridad. Su explotación con éxito podría conducir al escalado de privilegios.

This vulnerability allows remote attackers to bypass JavaScript API restrictions on vulnerable installations of Adobe Reader DC. User interaction is required to exploit this vulnerability in that the target must visit a malicious page or open a malicious file.
The specific flaw exists due to a mispelled API in the built-in encoded JavaScript scripts. By creating a specially crafted PDF with specific JavaScript instructions, it is possible to bypass the Javascript API restrictions. An attacker can leverage this in conjunction with other vulnerabilities to execute code in the context of the current process.
