The version of Adobe Creative Cloud Desktop Application installed on the remote macOS host is prior to 5.6. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities.
Creation of a temporary file in a directory with incorrect permissions allows an authenticated, local attacker to execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2021-43017)
Improper access control allows an unauthenticated, local attacker to escalate privileges. (CVE-2021-43019)
Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application’s self-reported version number.
