Adobe · Adobe Creative Cloud Desktop Application · CVE-2021-21069
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
Adobe Creative Cloud Desktop Application versions 5.3 and earlier
**Description**
The issue is related to insufficient input validation in the Adobe Creative Cloud Desktop Application, which can lead to a local privilege escalation. This allows an attacker to perform high-privileged actions by calling functions against the installer. Notably, exploitation of this issue does not require any user interaction.
**Recommendations**
For Adobe Creative Cloud Desktop Application versions 5.3 and earlier, update to a version later than 5.3 to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the installer to minimize the risk of exploitation.
