Descriptions

Adobe Photoshop CC versions 19.1.8 and earlier and 20.0.5 and earlier have a command injection vulnerability. Successful exploitation could lead to arbitrary code execution.

Adobe Photoshop CC versiones 19.1.8 y anteriores y 20.0.5 y anteriores tienen una vulnerabilidad de inyección de comandos. La explotación exitosa podría conducir a la ejecución de código arbitrario.

This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on affected installations of Adobe Photoshop. 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 within the handling of the Folder.rename method when processing JSX files. When opening a JSX file, the user interface fails to warn the user of unsafe actions. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to execute code in the context of the current process.
