Description
The issue is related to insufficient access restrictions to certain features in the CBSharedReviewIfOfflineDialog method of Adobe Acrobat and Adobe Acrobat Document Cloud for editing PDF files, and Adobe Reader and Adobe Reader Document Cloud for viewing PDF files.

For Adobe Acrobat, update to a version that addresses the CBSharedReviewIfOfflineDialog method issue.
For Adobe Acrobat Document Cloud, restrict access to the CBSharedReviewIfOfflineDialog method until a patch is available.
For Adobe Reader, consider disabling JavaScript execution in Adobe Reader until the issue is resolved.
